My dear old dad must have picked this up (Pattern Poetry, "arranged by" Richard Wilson) in some little secondhand bookshop in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. It is one of a few small treasures I brought home here to Canada when he died 12 years ago. You are the only other person on Library Thing with a copy. I with everyone on this site posted a bit of biographical profile. Always wondering who it is that might have the one or two "rare" books that I too have.

well this is very interesting...we share a number of books and like the comment just in front of me..my collection also came about in Portland, Oregon. I like your selections and will look through your library for ideas about acquisitions. Thanks for posting yours.

I'm just starting to catalogue my books, a pleasantly introverted task if ever there was one. I'm off in the science section, but of course, each section of my library shows a different me. I can feel my brain drift towards technogeekishness as I catalogue this section, but what will happen when I (presumably) part company with you and start looking at the books on manga? Or Czecheslovakia? I find the dance between compartmentalization and synergy to be quite interesting.

it is rather interesting that we share a small number of titles, but what titles they are! Leads one to believe that there is the potential for dopplegangers out and about throughout the world. If not dopplegangers, then a parallel universe, perhaps???

You are one of only three readers I've found here who lists "Mirror to the Light" by Lewis Thompson. What a gem of a little book... on the very short list of spiritual classics from the 20th century. I wish it was better known.

Mine came from the more prosaic Portland Oregon, probably from a recommendation somewhere on the internet. It looks like our collections represent fiction vs. non. I hope to get some ideas from yours, as I attempt to broaden my horizons.
