This book was left on the shelf of books inside the Starbucks located on the northeast corner of 19th Avenue and Northern.

It was released for the December 2014 Christmas release challenge, the D for December release challenge and the What's in a Name release challenge.

I was recently in this Starbucks store and I did a quick inventory of the books in their "lending library". This book is no longer in the store.

I love David McCullough’s books. I bought it on eBay a while back and finally read it. Nice little book about Christmastime 1941. I’ll put it in a nearby “Little Library” and hopefully peeps will update it’s travels.
