The Books In My Life

My interests are book collecting as a hobby, vocation, and/or disorder of mind and private library development. I'll be writing about books I love/collect, new, old, banned, illustrated, rare, libraries, books as art and artifact, and anything else related to books. I am expanding my focus to include galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMS) as I earn my MA in Museum Studies via Johns Hopkins University. "Books and reality and art are all the same kind of thing to me." V. Van Gogh

The Books In My Life Blog

I'm going to be posting about books. Rare books, collectible books, obscure books, illustrated books, books about books, book I love, books I own, and books I want. I suffer from a mild case of bibliomania-Level 1 hoarder is all I rate. If I had unlimited resources I’d surely rise to a more dangerous level, but I try, within reason to constantly add to my private library and various book collections. My library is not complete in any area, is not packed with high spots but to me, it is a wonderful and growing collection. With my postings I hope to share with you a love of reading, a love of books and a love of knowledge.
