Only today has Yours Truly discovered this most amazing Palo Alto institution that draws the epitome of both charm and intellect.  Superb presentations here perfectly balance know-how with style.

Here's wishing this venerable group all success in restoring and retrofitting their landmark.

Here's wishing the city an equally distinguished literary future.
