"Thank you for asking! Yes, you are right, it has been awfully quiet around the book. The project stalled in 2022, sadly, because my co-editor Silke Hermann and I had to focus on our new company qomenius. The good news is that we will publish the…"

"Dear Teresa, thank you for sharing and for providing us with so much rich insight around the Overhills house and history! I feel compelled to pack my bags and travel to Vermont immediately, to visit your house, if possible... but that's a…"

"Oh, that story is interesting on so many levels. Thank you for sharing it. I do not have that edition of The New State, but a facsimile reprint with a somewhat ugly green cover.  Your tale made me think of many things that might be irrelevant…"

"You did a great job with making the publications available here! That also made the Follett book we are preparing possible.  I was not aware that you republished The New State, though. "

Matthew Shapiro replied to Niels Pflaeging's discussion Wanted: "Rare" writings by Mary Parker Follett
"Niels - I applaud your effort to help making Follett's writing more accessible. I don't see that as being a different direction. Accessibility is why I pursued getting The New State republished in 1998 and  it is why all of her key…"

Matthew Shapiro replied to Niels Pflaeging's discussion Wanted: "Rare" writings by Mary Parker Follett
"Yes, I understand the interest. I personally got "enough" from a single book -- The New State -- to feel empowered and inspired. Perhaps this was because my interest was chiefly in democracy. Others came to Follett and were empowered by…"
