Ma, Pin, Ed, Happy Spring egg day to, at one time at least, my Unitarian mother, & Episcopalian & Catholic friends, from this NtF Friend/Quaker, Unitarian {and Yogi} ... Walking along Grizzly Peak blvd for the first time ever from where I van-camped in front of the 2 stuffed leopards dropped down over the hill side house and there's a great path ... Views of 2 beautiful bridges (the relatively new Bay Bridge is really nice - opened in 2013)! and SF, Berkeley and Oakland on a lovely morning :) fondly, Scott (Happy Spring Egg Day!

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" poetry book questions to Pegasus bookstore in Berkeley 


Dear Tim, 

Greetings and I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to inquire if Pegasus Books on Shattuck in Berkeley might carry my "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual reality" 2019 poetry book.

Thanks so much to the nice woman at the counter who gave me your email a few weeks ago, and said you were the person who considered getting books for the store on shattuck@pegasusbookstore.com. (I just came in again today Sum 4/5/26 and spoke with the same nice woman asking about the 1958 book "The Guide" by RK Narayan, as one of 10 great Indian novels inspired by Yoga, possibly comic, along the lines of "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard," which I enjoyed, and per Gemini - https://g.co/gemini/share/6e13f65bb682 - but have also since found it online in 2 places, Internet Archive +).

I had mentioned to her my writing 5 books that are Harbin Hot Springs' inspired, one sociocultural ethnographic book (t's in the UC Berkeley Anthropology library's collection), and the other four poetry books, and that they are all published in a new Press: The Academic and Poetry Press at World University and School, planned in all 7,159 living languages with machine and human translation; (free-to-students' World University and School, still a startup, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ - seeks to offer free online WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school or similar, AA/AS and Master's - from home, in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages, and as we proceed with accreditation further). And I inquired whether Pegasus books might even consider carrying my - 

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" 

... 2019 poetry book.

I had also mentioned how a book group's organizer, based in Lisbon, Portugal, and I had been corresponding about their creating a Book Feature / Spotlight / Event Summary of my "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!" book. You'll find the correspondence here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/red-dahlia-to-dance-or-pools-virtually.html

... but I decided on behalf of the Poetry Press at WUaS too not to go through with this Featuring of my book.

Greetings to the nice woman at the Pegasus on Shattuck avenue, Berkeley, counter. Am writing now my upcoming "Society, Information Technology, and the Global University" book.

Does "Pegasus Books" on Shattuck in Berkeley have a focus on local authors, and about local places like Harbin Hot Springs - Heart Consciousness Church in Lake County about 2 hours NE of Berkeley too? As you may read, am seeking to create a #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HotSprings - and think Google Street View with time slider, GMaps, Gemini AI and TensorFlowAI and for even soaking from home in our bathtubs eg in - 
ONSEN's perspective  - which is in a relatively new  'tilt-able' Youtube interactive immersive #InfoTech 
竹取亭円山 有馬温泉湯めぐりVR
- (#Hashtags on TwitterX and sometimes on #LinkedIN) in my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project (7th upcoming book), and for online ethnographic STEM and brain research, and even for publishing from Google Street View with #TextInTheSideBar to paper and new digital hardware formats like a #WUaSMultimediaRoom, and even to study bliss in a virtual Harbin (and see https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306) -  and potentially to invent the book anew.

Have you or other Pegasus book folks ever visited Harbin Hot Springs ?

Thanks, best regards, kindly,
Scott
