Not a Beg or a Pitch But a Note

Occasionally, people kindly drop me notes asking if I'd like to be gifted with anything to support the blog (to which I always awkwardly say aw shucks) and others kindly send me books they think I might like.

This isn't an appeal, but if anyone happens to be in the mood, a gift subscription to The Times Select would be nice since those [expletive deleted] are placing Krugman et al behind a sub wall.
