Eckhartz Everyday

 


*On this day in 2012, Brendan Sullivan and I appeared on WGN-TV to promote our book The Living Wills (Still available here at Eckhartz Press). I wish I still had the video of that appearance, but I don't. I do, however, have a review from my wife who watched us being interviewed by Dina Bair. Despite our witty repartee and Dina's overt endorsement of the book, Bridget's review was this: "You looked a little slouchy."


*On this day in 2019, Eckhartz Press author Richard Reeder appeared on Rabbi Doug's television show in Chicago to promote his book 1001 Train Rides in Chicago. (Still available here at Eckhartz Press) It was like the meeting of two kindred spirits. That video does still exist, and you can watch it below. 






*Today is the birthday of America's first-ever Post Master General, Benjamin Franklin. Vicki Quade's Eckhartz Press Book Close Encounters of a Chicago Kind has an entire chapter about her entertaining encounters at a local Chicago post office. Hilarious, and highly recommended. Her book is still available here.










*Former Chicago Bull Dwayne Wade is celebrating a birthday today. D-Wade gets his own chapter in Randy Merkin's great Eckhartz Press book, Behind the Glass. That book was our top selling book this Christmas season and is still available here.
