- About My Library
My main area of interest is books on books, but I also collect books about Buddhism, coffee, Roman and Germanic paganism, and Zimbabwe/Rhodesia. I also collect Borges, as well as my other favourite fictions.
My collection is an anti-library; I feel no pressure (only excitement) to read all the books that it contains.
Anything in the For Sale collection (as can almost anything if you make me a good offer!) can be purchased from me, and I ship internationally. Send me a message!
- About Me
Bibliophile, sometime bookseller, amateur bookbinder. Worked at the Book Bazaar in Ottawa for 9 years, now at Black Squirrel Books. When I'm not reading (or, let's be honest, cataloguing and sorting), I'm cooking, creating music, and playing JRPGs.
