SCA is excited to announce the recent acquisition of a rare, signed copy of Doctor Transit by Isidor Schneider. The first-print copy is inscribed by the author, reading “For Frank Hill from his friend Isidor Schneider.” There is also Frank Hill’s embossed stamp of ownership in the book, reading, “Hill, Dogwood House, New City, New York.” Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to find more information on Mr. Hill and his connection to Schneider.

For many, like myself, those long periods of forced solitude and isolation were a time of self-reflection and anxiety. They were also an opportunity to try out new things and pick up new hobbies. For me, that hobby was knitting.
