Made in Italy Trolley Books Trolley <trolley@trolleybooks.com> The tragic death of Mark Blanco at the beginning of December brutally cut the life of a brilliant man and dear friend. Mark was a vital part of many peoples' lives, who now want to have it made transparent exactly what took him so tragically away.

Always appearing with something to give or show or share, from a steak in his pocket to a rare book, magic trick or just to dip in and out of his vast knowledge of so many things, Mark was a unique spirit, whose untimely death has left many deepely saddened. He will be missed. read the story here Trolley Books Trolley <trolley@trolleybooks.com> On Sunday 26th November Trolley was honoured when Patti Smith spoke about and performed her song on Lebanon, Qana.
