The story unfolds from the perspective of a curious, irrepressible 4-year-old boy named TJ, who loves music and playing ball, and navigates a neighborhood where gun violence, police brutality, alcoholism and drug addiction are looming threats — an outside world that even his warm home life with loving parents can’t shield him from.

“Demand has delightfully exceeded expectations,” Glusman said. “Is there such a thing as too much demand?”

■Send guests home with a favor they can use in their kitchens, such as a set of heart-shaped measuring spoons, wine stopper, cookie cutter, whisk, tea towel, homemade spice mix or personalized wooden spoon.

There was also humor. Meacham recalled that Bush, campaigning in a crowd in a department store, once shook hands with a mannequin. Instead of flushing in embarrassment, he simply quipped: “Never know. Gotta ask.”

But guess what? He can’t. Neither can you, and neither can I. Moby-Dick is a great book, one worth wrestling with and finally finishing, even if its full depths will never be completely explored.

Oh no, this is another hard question. I am such a collector at heart that I really have to keep myself in check to make sure I don’t turn into a full-blown hoarder. One of the rules I force myself to follow is that anything I collect has to be A) cheap and B) small (preferably). This rule is practical for many reasons (like moving around a lot in my student years and not really having money), but I am also generally fond of ephemera and often attracted to things that other people don’t like (meaning, I am specifically interested in something because no one else is). I have been collecting zines and zine-like stuff since I was a teenager: low-budget comics, poetry chapbooks, flyers, religious tracts. I like to collect local ephemera when I travel. And subject-wise my interests are pretty broad, but I’ve noticed they tend towards interesting design elements, illustrations, alphabets, symbols, and anything that consists of listing things in any kind of order: encyclopedias, slang dictionaries, guides to the mystical properties of gems and crystals, descriptions of other collectors collections, etc.
