BookCrossing Coffee Planet has become an Official BookCrossing Zone! BookCrossing is the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise. Book sharing has never been more exciting, more serendipitous, than with BookCrossing. BookCrossing is a book exchange of infinite proportion, the first and only of its kind. It’s similar toWheresGeorge.com (which tracks U.S. currency by serial number).
The next time you stop in Coffee Planet check out the books with the BookCrossing label. Take one you would like to read and when you’ve finished with it set it free. If you have a book you would like to share, bring it to Coffee Planet and we will label it and give you the BCID (BookCrossing ID#) so you can follow it wherever it goes.

Nancy Walker "To make a great cake it certainly is important to start with the best ingredients you can find; but of course they alone are not going to get you anywhere unless they are mixed properly; and this is the essential mastery behind "FSYWH" and their members' songcraft...by capitalizing on each other's vocal strengths and mapping out precise, skillful harmonies they take what started out as a wonderful solo song and it is elevated to a higher plane.
National Bottle Museum Visitors to the museum can learn about early bottle making methods and view the surviving hand tools, a miniature model of a typical 1800's glass furnace and exhibits of hand made bottles often overlooked as legitimate artifacts.

Sean Rowe 'When Rowe gets in front of a microphone, he is transformed into a wizened and grizzled old black griot. He summons up a voice from deep within that begs comparisons to such genre-bending innovators as funk-jazz master Gil Scott-Heron or the late beach bum turned philosopher Ted Hawkins.' [Don Wilcock - The Troy Record] 'It seems almost impossible that a performer so slight and Caucasian could produce sounds so bottomless and soulful.' [The Skidmore News-Skidmore College] 'Rowe has the uncanny ability in live performance to mimic a 3-piece band.'[Metroland Magazine] '27 is a lightning bolt of ingenuity. I personally play Sean's music in between Ella, Roy Hargrove, and Nina Simone; between Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, and Coltrane.Âť [Arthur Gonick - WSPN-FM 91.1 Skidmore College. Rowe has the grainy, coarse, pulverized and yet full and lumbering voice of a blues singer or an understudy of Tom Waits mixing with the slick, agile, lyrical folk rocking command of a soft-spoken young urban singer/songwriter.
