I love this! Having made peace (not really) with downsizing my own considerable collection for my Portugal move, I look forward to building a new collection with care. Many of these books are new to me and I love his explanations for why they are important to him. Thank you both for the inspiration.
I’ll have to read that. I’ve never done a count - & would probably not tell Grant the truth even if I did! Thank goodness it doesn’t include digital books too…

Thanks Alison, hopefully you'll share the books you pick. I'd love to see your new collection grow.
I'd love to be able to travel back in time to see what folks used these for back in the day....I should probably read up!
