Books

I collect books. This page is about what I look for and how the collection came together.

To write: A few paragraphs on how I got into collecting and what draws me to it.

What I collect#

To write: What my collection actually focuses on: subjects, periods, presses, editions, bindings, or whatever the organizing thread is. This is the section a fellow collector would read first.

A few favorites#

To write: Two or three individual books worth singling out, with a sentence each on why. Add photos with the <Figure> component: <Figure src="/images/books/name.jpg" alt="…" caption="…" /> — put the image files in static/images/books/.

Fine press books#

To write: What draws me to fine press books: presses I follow, what makes an edition worth having, how this part of the collection differs from the rest.

The whole catalog#

Everything is cataloged on LibraryThing, which is more current and more complete than anything I'd maintain by hand here:
