Wanna see what 6000 books looks like?
I moved the bookstore to the basement of my house for now. Much more room to work, and space to expand.

I've listed and shelved 6000 books so far, alphabetical by author.

I'll have a comfortable couch and some chairs and lamps down here soon.

Wanna come by and read?

9. Oh, it is...
and once I get the rest of my stuff moved in, it will be better.

My leather captain's chair, my desk, my futon couch, reading chair and lights...

and a coffee pot.

It'll be great fun.

14. My dear Retro!
That effort must have taken some doing!

It makes me tired just to look at it!

If I were in the area, you can bet I'd come over for a read!

Good for you!

No copy of that book. It bit me so I sold it to some guy with a chainsaw for a hand...
