RE: Die Erfindung des modernen Buchdrucks // The invention of modern letterpress printing

Dear AG,

Outer distances or age differences don't matter if you feel connected with someone in your mind and heart. 🌼

Your remark that you wrote a book about Chinese art made me curious. So I followed the link on your Steemit-blog. What I found there impresses me very much.

The origin of the Rhythm Prism Publishing project is touching. Encouraging people and helping them to record their memories or to share their knowledge and experiences is a wonderful task. I'm sure you bring your great experience and skills as an educator, author and researcher to the project in a the best way.

Your books, which I found on the website and also on Amazon, cover an incredibly wide range of topics. And this is probably only a part of what you wrote. So much knowledge that you have acquired over time! I can well imagine how much research and passion for writing you have put into these books.

Your book on Asian art must be very interesting. You can never try enough to build bridges between people or cultures. Last year I took a Sabbatical. I started listening to lectures on Art history at the University. This semester would be an introduction to Asian art, which I unfortunately can't attend due to my job. In a few years, when I'm retired, I'd like to get more involved with art and culture. Hopefully I'll then find more time to write about it too.

With us, Sunday is slowly coming to an end, while most of it is still ahead of you. May it bring you many happy hours! 🌞

In great affection I send you warm greetings over the ocean,
Anna

Dear Anna,
Thank you for following that link. I'm very discreet and don't usually talk about my activities away from Steemit.

Books, ah books. My family moved to New York City when I was 11. That was my introduction to the public library--my first regular access to books. I don't think I stopped reading for 2 years 😄 I wrote my first book when I was 64, so you have much joy waiting for you!

I'm glad you had the Sabbatical and that it whet your appetite for more. You are a wonderful writer and I think you would have made a great teacher. You love to learn and gently share what you know.

I hope you let me know when you write that first book 🌟

With affection and regard,🌻🌻
Your friend from across the sea, in very chilly New York,

Dear AG,

I do understand very well that you want to protect your privacy.

I think you would have made a great teacher.

Imagine I've really been a teacher for over 35 years now! 😄 I deal with balance sheets and sober figures, so my interest for art and culture is a wonderful balance to it.

It's amazing that you only wrote your first book at the age of 64. So I still have a little time to prepare for it. 😂

Have a nice afternoon! All the best from
Anna from Vienna (aka vieanna) 🌷
