Ed Zotti, longtime suffering editor to Uncle Cecil, has just published a new book–for more information, review the review that appeared in the _Chicago Reader_: [The Barn House: Misadventures in Urban Rehabbing](http://www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/barnhouse/). (It appears the book is a lot like _The Amityville Horror_, only with contractors instead of ghosts.)

Moreover, as of tomorrow evening, September 4, 2008, they are rolling out a neighborhood-wide book-signing tour consisting of, it appears, of a total of one (1) location, at 7:30 P.M. at [Barnes & Noble Booksellers at Webster Place in Clyburn](http://www.barnesandnobleinc.com/stores/results.do?ls=rO0ABXc1tC2S%2FwIAAQAAAAEhAAEhAAEhAAAAAAVab3R0aQACRWQAAAABIQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA%3D). (I assume all book-signings have to be within skateboarding distance of his home).

Anyway, due to the lack of advance warning, I unfortunately will not be able to attend, so I shall have to live vicariously through anyone who might show up. And please let us know if Unca Cece makes an appearance.

Ed’s going to be on the WGN noon news today (Thursday) as well.

AND Milt Rosenberg’s show on Sunday.

And there’s going to be a feature on the house in the Trib.
