"May blessings be upon the head of Cadmus, the Phoenicians, or whoever it was that invented books." -Thomas Carlyle
Welcome to my virtual book collection. Since collecting actual books is somewhat cost-prohibitive, I've begun to amass all of the books I would love to have if I had the means. Some are new, lots are old, all are unique or beautiful or unusual or in some other way have captured my fancy. Enjoy browsing!

I thought I was going to scroll down and learn that Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was based on a book about cats.

“Soldier Spy” I loved Gary Oldman in that. A man of quiet desparation.
