It's Just An Old Book (Paperback)

It's Just an Old Book is a title given to a manuscript found by a library worker. The manuscript under discussion is a description of rural life in West Virginia during the late thirties, the forties, and early fifties. The title with particular punctuations, "I Remember? I Remember. I Remember!" provides the framework for the manuscript. All of the short stories give a historical glimpse of the past. The question mark, the period, and the exclamation mark provide clues as to the degree of memory involved. The manuscript is placed within the context of a book club meeting. The members of the club react to various sections and often add their own memories to the discussion.
