LUCKY 7

Happy New Year to all of you.   And now that we have a year ending in the number 7, we decided to focus on some Bullis books that were published in a "7" year.

(Explanation of post title: We also wondered how many manuscripts were submitted to be published during those years, only to be rejected. Have no idea of course, but that's why we're calling the books that "made it" lucky.)

Here's the first seven we picked from the Bullis catalog.  And you're invited to stop by the Bullis Room and spend some time with any one -- or all -- of them.
