Dear Editor,

    I am the former managing editor of the New York Public Library, a book author, and an avid Kindle user of many years — so I read with interest Helen Rattray’s “Connections” column (Feb. 9) on her disenchantment with her Kindle and its possible threat to the traditional book.

Killing Season

    Springs

    July 1, 2012

To the Editor,

    To whom the rules do not apply: At the beginning of every summer season for at least the last 15 years, I’ve told myself I should write a letter to the editor reminding people about the rules of the road. But I never have. Until this year.

    May 27, 2012

Dear David:

    Your column, “Bad Mileage,” of May 17, seems to have anticipated something in today’s New York Times: “This Is How We Ride.”
