I've passed on a great part of my collection of indexing books to Oxford Brooke's library, which is now housing a specialist collectin on the topic -- the Society of Indexers assed over most of its former library. Still have the nuceus though -- which anyway is duplicated at Brooke's.

I have now enhanced my LibThing listing for Collison's books, and other early ones on indexing, by pasting in extracts from reviews in early issues of The Indexer, as well as first words and recommendations among them all. Great enhancement possible on LT!
Cheers,

Not just the Corvo connection, but an interesting match of titles between our libraries. More than you might think, as hardly any of my "library" is listed.
It was the F. G. Rayer book that did it - A book that really impressed me when I first read it, probably when I was still at primary school. My father was a subscriber to the SFBC, and so I was reading their books as soon as I could reach them on the shelf - Asimov, Bradbury, Stapleton first: Then as I got older I moved on to "Janet and John".
I was also very interested in radio and electronics as a teenager: There was an F. G. Rayer who was a prolific author of construction articles in the British enthusiast magazines of the time, and I always wondered if it was the same person.
