About meI have an MA in French and am half-way to an MLS with a concentration in rare books and special collections. I'm obsessed with French literature, Italian humanist literature, crazy writers and illustrators, the Aldine Press, cartography, early exploration, maritime lore and legend, and incunabula. I also love horror movies, the occult, the romantics, cosmology, string theory and wine!
Go to London Rare Books School! 
About my libraryIf I could afford to buy the books I really wanted to own, I wouldn't be a librarian;)

I think you will love this book: Brodsky and Utkin, The Complete Works; by Lois Nesbitt. It has beautiful illustrations.

Quite a lot of catalogues have 17th c. stuff with that in the title though, mainly sermons etc. It might be worth posting a message on the group Ask Librarything. If you find out, let me know: that'll really buy me now!

I saw that you've posted a few times lately on the cataloguers who LT thread and I thought I'd say hi.
I'm in the UK studying for an MSc and would like to move into rare books librarianship at some future point. I'm currently trying to learn Latin from scratch (harder than I thought!) I'm interested in the objects themselves but also in creating the bib record that will unite reader and item, allowing the books themselves to be located and consulted. I enjoy organising knowledge.
I really love 18th and 19th c. travel books, and 15th c. books of maps and travellers' tales of exploration. Fascinating.

In my library, right not, if you see a cover, that's the one I have. If you don't, it meas I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet, and I need to scan it some day.
Now, go be OCD like your cousin!
