   And, as Duff Bruce, owner of Greenville's Open Book told me yesterday, it's important to look at the long-range, cumulative effect of the book tour, to look toward eventual paperback sales that build on these first efforts, and to think about the big picture: "I've already hand-sold fifteen or more hard copies of LITTLE BIRD, and I consider that quite good. I know I'll sell this signed stock as well."
   
   This makes me feel better for both myself and for Duff, who was expecting a book club group that didn't materialize. And, clearly, Duff believes in LITTLE BIRD. So does Open Book employee Howey, who works in Children's. I signed a book for Howey, four for Duff, and one for Duff's sweet sister-in-law who came to the signing and made me feel like at least one person showed up.

   I ask Duff, and we debate the meaning of the word.

   And now, I've met kin; I know Duff; he knows me.
