I just sold a couple old barrister book cases (we're installing some built-in book cases), which helped to pay for the last couple acquisitions

You?
Oh Bob, I had forgotten, but, though I'm not a book collector per se, I did at one point collect many photography books. Henri Cartier-Bresson. W. Eugene Smith. James Nachtwey. Sabastio Salgado. Werner Bischoff. Etc, Etc. The great photo journalists. I suppose the prize of my "collection" is my signed copy of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, by Hunter S. Thompson. I have a LOT of books on fly fishing too. maybe I am a book collector...
