There is something about the first-hand accounts of Jo's book tours that makes me misty-eyed, and an article I just added to the archive is a perfect illustration of this.
Perhaps because I am the veteran of many author visits; perhaps because one of my biggest regrets is that I didn't chuck my graduate school work in 1999 and fly to San Marino Toy and Book Shoppe (where I used to work) and stand in line to meet Jo. You see, I was confident that she'd tour again.
Anyway, Ted Brock's November 1999 article for the Modesto Bee is a delightful read -- it captures perfectly those early days of fandom.
