GroupsLibrarians who LibraryThing

About meI'm trained as a librarian - a cataloger! - so the Library Thing is right up my alley. I will soon be retiring from librarianship and taking up book binding full time, which is another area in which I have some training, much practice, and lots of passion.

About my libraryMy library includes a lot of comparative religion & mythology - an avocation of mine for the past quarter century - lots of history, fiction, poetry, biography, dance, and art. Oh!, I'm forgetting books on books, another major area for me, and fantasy fiction. All this will become plain as my books come onto the "Thing."
Initiallly, though, you'll notice a great deal of Wendell Berry in my library; I'm putting his stuff in Library Thing first, for selfish reasons. I'm wanting to give ABAA booksellers that I work with a chance to see what I've got, and what I'm looking for.

I am a librarian, a book binder, and a collector of the writings of poet, essayist, and novelist Wendell Berry in fine first editions. I am also a bookman, and have collected other authors, notably J. R. R. Tolkien, William Kotzwinkle, John McPhee, and Tom Robbins. I buy and sell books on eBay under my "Paleobibliomaniac" moniker, so look for me there.
