The tradition is you produce a roll-call of those important people who died during the year that is about to end. Here, then, is our list of people who died in 2012 who were important to us - authors, actors, customers, booksellers and bookshops:
Ray Bradbury, Jacques Barzun, Ernest Borgnine, Martin Breese, Donna Carlberg, Joyce Christmas, Kay Clark, Michael Clarke Duncan, Charles Durning, James Farentino, Ben Gazzara, Dorothy Gilman, Andy Griffith, Marvin Hamlish, Henry Hill, Reginald Hill, David Ishii, Nicholas Katzenbach, Ed Kaufman, Jack Klugman, Dean Loganbill, Herbert Lom, Betty Ritter, Barney Rosset, Paul Sussman, Gore Vidal, Clarissa Watson, Nicol Williamson, Margaret York, and these mystery specialty bookshops: Mysteries to Die For in Thousand Oaks, CA, and Partners in Crime in NYC.
Adieu, Farewell, Thanks, and Rest in Deserved Peace!
