Narrated by Aundrea Mitchell. Old stuff comes knocking during the holidays. An homage to Anne Tyler.

The oh-so-droll Michael Gilboe narrates. In 1945, Milton Reynolds introduced the ballpoint to the United States and triggered the biggest single-day shopping riot in history at Gimbels in Manhattan. The Reynolds International Pen Company made $5 million in eight weeks during the first non-wartime Christmas season. Thereafter, increasing competition from established companies such as Eversharp triggered several years of the "Pen Wars".

Rebecca Roberts narrates Gerald Everett Jones's novel about an art scandal in 1892 Paris.

Stuart Appleton narrates Gerald Everett Jones's humorous novel My Inflatable Friend about a young man who lusts too much and fails by falling upward.

Gerald reads from Chapter 21 of Bonfire of the Vanderbilts.
