Parkside View

A Parkside View began its monthly run in July of 2016. This collection features two volumes-twenty issues released in 2020 and 2021-where Bob brings together all of the essays that appeared on the newsletter's pages, from works debuting exclusively in each issue to efforts pulled from his archives. All sixty-four essays from Volume 5 and Volume 6 of the newsletter are included, along with three essays that are being shared only in this book. A Parkside View: Volumes 5 & 6 is Bob's thirteenth published title. You can learn more about him, the In My Backpack website, Backpackville and A Parkside View inside the book and by visiting the site. (www.inmybackpack.com)

Inside this effort: "You could be very special" - "The New Year thermometer" - "The bonus fries" - "Holiday tipping point" - "Did anyone bring their wallet?" - "The delicacy of now" - and more.

The newsletter is free - sign up at the website or on any of Bob's social media pages - with Volumes 1 & 2 and Volumes 3 & 4 joining with this release to capture all the essays published in the first six years of A Parkside View.
