- About My Library
- This catalogue is the personal collection of my wife (Pi/314159), and mine (Jeff). We are both avid book lovers and have been collecting books together for 15+ years. We both love old science texts (Instrumentation, Chemistry, Astronomy, Physics, Geology). The amateur science, telescope making, electonics, and DIY books are mine. The children's books and Jane Austen are my wife's. Most of our books come from library book sales, and used book stores. We incorporate these book expiditions in all of our business and pleasure travels. Some were purchased from Amazon, ABE, Ebay, etc.. And yes a few were purchased from retail book stores...but where is the fun in that?
- About Me
- Jeff- I am a R&D chemist by profession. I formulate tape for a living. Chances are you have something I have made at your house. I am interested in astronomy, seismology, HAM radio, amateur science, amateur telescope making, scientific insruments, collecting books, reading, building things, making kites, and many other neglected hobbies.
Pi- I am a librarian with a background in geology. We have a six year old son who is the center of our universe. I work part-time which gives me lots of time to do cool things like spend time with my son and play with LibraryThing. The down side is never having the extra money to spend on necessities like MORE BOOKS! ; ). I share many of the same interests and hobbies as Jeff, but my two favorite things are family and books. - Location
