  Hi. The Flips Flipping Pages has another book discussion coming up. Hope you can attend. thanks!
  
  Finoy Foodies - June Book Discussion

  See you all
  on June 20, 2009. Saturday. 2PM
  at Katre Mediterranean Restaurant, 103 Dr. Lascano St. Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City

  Avalon, sorry for my late reply to your post at the Flippers discussion re nonfiction. I'm co-owner of Southern Voices Printing Press, a small start-up publishing venture. The book I referred to in the discussion is actually the first publication we'll be coming up. :-)
