Laura wrote “This antipasto recipe appeared in the Trail Daily News over 60 years ago. My mom tried it, liked it and a tradition was born! Antipasto means 'before the meal' (aniti-(before) & pasto-(meal)).Traditionally the first course in an Italian meal is a variety of cold cuts, melons, pickles, cheeses, olives, etc. This the bottled variety of the first course. Buon Appetito." We have chosen Perfect Italian by Parragon Books to accompany this donation. Laura would like to see a minimum bid of $10 per pint.

Fox is a regular visitor to our library and a great help with our book sale books. “The Weaselzzz” super hero series was created by by Fox all by himself, because he wanted to create a new super hero. Fox spent weeks and months drawing and colouring his creation and we are thrilled to have a first edition of "The Weasel" and “The Weasel Volume 2” Fox wants us to know that he is ‘the Weasel’ as he describes in his comic books. Spider-Man is a big influence for Fox, so we paired his work with Marvel Comics' The Savage Land.
