About My Library
I considered going into the used book business but did not want to be tied down every day. I have collected books from the book fare thinking I would sell them but hate to give them up. I buy books as they go from hardback to paperback from companies like Edward Hamilton and Daedelus.
About Me
I am recently retired from Penn State and working on my library. I have always loved books and libraries and have time now to enjoy them. I have a PhD in physics from Illinois and taught electrical engineering for 40 years. My reading interest is in history and economics.
