Greetings everyone, Do you come home from the milonga smiling? Now there's a way to document those beautiful evenings so they can be savored for years to come: A Tango Diary.
Whether it’s used for writing down the dances to remember, recalling perfect tandas, or making class notes, A Tango Diary ably plays the roles of confidante and resource. Designed to slide easily into a pocket or shoe bag, A Tango Diary comes hand-bound in durable linen bookcloth (a few are in Moroccan leather) with images of Portland’s storied Viscount Ballroom, where thousands of tangueros have danced, on the front and back covers. Inside the covers are two pockets for milonga handbills, notes, and business cards. The text features letterpress printing and Nideggen mouldmade paper from Germany. Limited to an edition of 50, each copy of A Tango Diary is numbered and stamped with the binder’s seal. For pictures, specifications, and info, visit http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34796075. Among the future projects is a limited-edition "reader's guide" to Astor Piazzolla's 1987 concert in Central Park. As part of my ongoing research for the project, I would love to hear from those who were at the concert or have any special memories or experiences attached to the event or the recording itself. Contact information is on my site, manaobooks.com. Wishing you many dances to write about and remember, Margaret -- Margaret Davis, Ma Nao Books manaobooks.com, manaobooks.etsy.com -- Ma Nao Books PO Box 12383 Portland, OR 97212-0383 manaobooks.com
