About My Library: About 600 and growing, though as usual am sure, need book space. My grandson's bed takes a wall that could fit 300 but I love my grandson more and hope to pass on my love of the printed word to him. Mostly American Revolutionary, Constitutional and Civil War history, Greek and Roman originals and academic writings, the 60's Kennedy's and civil rights. Biographies round it out together with tech, futures and business.
About Me: Lifelong reader, student of history and politics, international relations and recent (5 years) to all things Greek and Roman. A novice collector of 18th and 19th C firsts, rare and collectible. My eyes are bigger than my stomach. Retiring in 6 years and thinking of buying a used book store or getting my masters in history. Who knows?
