About me "Wear the old coat and buy the new book." --Austin Phelps
"Even when reading is impossible, the presence of books acquired produces such an ecstasy that the buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity... we cherish books even if unread, their mere presence exudes comfort, their ready access, reassurance."
--- A.E. Newton
About my library Slowly (very slowly!) being entered into LibraryThing. Our library is very chaotic at the present time -- many books are still in boxes.
"The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones." -- Joseph Joubert

I ended up with a good stack of books - 5 large gardening books, 4 mysteries, some SF/fantasy (some I had but was able to get better copies), and some other odds and ends. Mostly free as volunteers get credit for time worked to apply to book purchases.
I helped pack up on Sunday night - most of the boxes that didn't get unpacked have been put in storage for next year, along with the leftover mysteries and SF and a few other things, but some areas just went in the recycle (like the computer books, most of which were too old already and won't be made more useful by a year in storage, and the "self help" books, which sold really badly).
I'm compiling ideas for next year to pass on to the organizers (with, of course my permission to ignore what I say - they won't hurt my feelings). It was interesting to see what sold and what didn't, and frustrating to have so little space to get everything out on tables. If you have suggestions, let me know and I'll add them to the list.

The painting on my profile page is by John William Waterhouse, one of the pre-Raphaelite painters. He did a lot of portraits for Shakespearean characters; this one is Ophelia.

Definitely too bad about Laurie Greenwood closing. I guess she's going to stay in the book trade, but doing more promotion type work - author readings and stuff. There was something in the Journal and on RadioActive.
Alhambra is a good used bookstore - they have the usual range, including lots of Canadiana. My sister collects books about the North and she got a few items there. I mostly buy SF, mysteries, and gardening books, and have purchased all three there in the past. Not a great selection of kids' books, but then most don't.
There's a newish used bookstore across from where Athabasca Books used to be that is quite good, too. I discovered it a couple of weeks ago.
I wonder if Tim and co would mind if we added locations for thrift stores? Some of them have quite large book sections. I won't add them yet, but will think on it a while and maybe consult.

Did you know Laurie Greenwood is closing her shop?

Thanks for replying to my question about the Readercon. Love your library BTW. It's a bit far away from me also, I'm in Key West.
All the best,

Glad to have a complete stranger interested in my novel. Now, if I can interest everyone else in Canada to purchase a copy, I might be able to retire.

How did you get a copy of my novel Shelf Monkey? It hasn't even been released yet. Or are you my first pre-order?
