    I'm an old retired farmer who got sent to a special reading program to catch up with my classmates at age 7. Been obsessed ever since. My collection is in storage and now in old age it is difficult to find interested people of like mind. So many potentially very rare books just sitting in storage!

      you will hopefully leave them for a relative that can appreciate them... would be a shame if they wound up in the hands of someone who doesn't know their value.

    One of the great experiences in life is a Find ... a treasure someone had and didn't value. I was in a Virginia bookshop whose owner specialized in pulp fiction. Behind the counter, was some 'old junk' that didn't make it to the shelves. Old leatherbounds whose covers were splitting at the hinges. So I asked, "How much for those?" The answer: "How about $5 a volume?" They were Gladstone's three-volume set of Dryden's Virgil (1709) with the prime minister's bookplates and annotations!

      Of all the words that were said in nearly 90mins, you had to comment on the handful you didn’t like, and nothing else. Dah
