About me I am English (Scottish) painter and writer. Wrote world's first erotic pop-up book: 'the Secret Carnival'. After 18 years in Italy now live in France. Just published 'Magic of the Picture Plane', paintings 1956-1970. Also published 'Sophie's Dream Book' an illustrated erotic novel
About my library At last I have space for all my books, four walls. I have another 2000 to catalogue...an exercise in nostalgia, from Chick's Own Annual to the Sex Collectors. Busiest categories erotica and art.

A quick introduction: I studied Art History at Leiden University (I started out reading Physics, but decided that was not for me). Anyway: unable to find academic work after graduation, I continued working as a cartoonist - the line of work which had helped pay my way through college years. Never lived in a houseboat in Amsterdam myself, but did live in Los Angeles in a house with swimming pool provided by Warner Bros - something one could get used to, but I missed good old Europe.

I've lived for the past twenty years in Portugal. Please stay in touch.

There seems to be a dearth of Librarythingers in France. At least according to my map. In the early stages of cataloging your library regularly popped up, but now I'm slogging through the manual cataloguing and you seem to have fallen off the list. Quite a good overlap in the kitchen and garden. Anyhow 75 shared titles is not bad, including some pretty odd stuff. I'm sure neither of us have ever read «The practical way to keep fit»!

Go ahead and add the book again; I'll report it in the bug forum. Not much else I can do.

You also have the word Appendix spelled wrong in the title, which I thought you might like to change.

Good luck with the cataloging. A compulsive personality helps. At least it helped me. Not suggesting you have one, of course, but then you do have over three thousand books!
I'm off to crawl through your library, AND your web site. I've only had a moment to look, but the paintings are spectacular. Sorry for the tardy response. I have to learn to scroll down.
