How it all began

I have always loved books fiction, non-fiction, old, and new. In 1988 I bought a book entitled Modern First Editions by Joseph Connolly. My new copy was the third edition and the wonderfuly cover featured covers from the books of Wodehouse, Christie, Spark, Waugh, Deighton and Auden. Very eye-catching.

I would love to say that I read the book from cover to cover and and now some twenty years later I am expert. Alas no. I did read it and have found it invaluable but I have never had the time to devote to become all knowledgeable.

After twenty years I know a little more than I did but am still no expert - so I have started a web site to learn more, share finds and point to interesting items and web sites.
