When Mrs. CarPeo Said NO To Queen Elizabeth's Family ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two recent pages

featured Mrs. CarPeo's 

colleagues from Abrams Books

with my better half

sort of standing

on the sideline

 

BUT

Mrs. CarPeo just told me 

a story about her 

reaction to a Royal nephew

of England's Queen:

 

"The head of publicity

asked me

to do calligraphy

for seating arrangements

at a very plush dinner

for the Royal Nephew/author

in New York.

 

"I was overwhelmed with

projects at the time

so I said NO.

 

 "But a stunned book editor 

reacted as if I had said NO

to the kingdom of heaven.

 

"The Royal Nephew

—Lord Linley—

is

Margaret's son

and his 1996 book

was entitled

Extraordinary Furniture."
