That's a fine how do you do. When you go to bibliofind.com now, all kinds of Amazon logos are on their site. It wasn't like that the other day. Is nothing sacred? I guess I should be happy. I know who the people are who started bibliofind, they are a nice retired couple from either Vermont or New Hampshire, and if they have worked a deal with Amazon I'll bet they're grinning from ear to ear right now. I'm out of the loop on what's been happening with used books. Really must get back to the east coast soon and get caught up.

If you're going to be fevered about something, it may as well be books. At least your obsessions and compulsions build a library. Who knows, some day it may be regarded as an important collection!

A few years ago I maxed out 2 credit cards on cash advances so I could buy Lockman's Travels of the Jesuits. A guy I know had it in his catalog for $1450, but for me it would be a measly $1300. How could I resist?

I'm a bit less feverish these days, but when I look at my shelves I'm kinda glad I had it for awhile.
