'The Foolish Book Collector' gothic woodcut from DAS NARRENSCHIFF (1494) / The Ship of Fools by Sebastian BRANT (Author. Germany, 1457-1521) via Project Gutenberg. "I have but one pleasure. To have a huge amount of books tho I learn nothing from them - not wisdom, insight or the will of God. Then I despise them. Thus I am a fool as are all that wear this guise." [OE trans/interpretation by pfb / Patricia Bee / PitcherBooks @ LibraryThing. ] Free E-Book: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/20179 Don't plagiarize. Credit the source ... No point to collecting books if one learns nothing from them. Makes sense. - pfb / PitcherBooks, LT.
