nonplussed and southern–oh my, wilmington is a wealth of many areas of history, must have been quite a collection. my former spouse wasn’t a reader or a reference person, former is the operative word, that’s how my books ended up in storage, am just now getting my life back in order that i am making it about what matters, storage is next……….most of my books are of that type, reference and classics. library sales are treasures that someone donated……..i quit going……i hate it, like driving by a car wreck, i won’t look…….last one i went to i brought home 5 bags……each and every one of them a gem……..i hate it that valuable books are ending up in the dump. it’s depressing.

with the lack of individual booksellers anymore, i hate to think of the volumes that are trashed.

when my mom moved my uncle to his apartment, they donated truckloads of books……truckloads.

he was one of the founders of the goodyear book club and the lighter than air society…..

when i was growing up, he sent books all over the world, and got books and letters from all over the world. he worked for the guggenheim institute, also taught me about shortwave radio, i used to think he was a spy……i know now he wasn’t. just an intellectual. taught me about atlases when i was 5……..i now have those same atlases and others he gave to me, historical, and others……..i am engrossed when i open them.

Rocks and books. A friend of my parents from up there had an impressive Indians artifacts collection, he was from Wilmington in the really old days, pre-Airborne.

One can find some gems there, too, often in near perfect condition. I’m not exactly sure what that says about my taste in reading material.</p> Interesting, I collect the same items! Rocks and books.

Long sucker, about 350 questions. Had all year to do it and no specific number of required answers. Used strictly to teach us how to do research in a library. Living in DC, before high school students were prohibited from using the Library of Congress for that purpose, was a bookworm’s dream. The DC main public library was our main source, though, cuz the LoC was so huge it took more time to find stuff. It’s not about memorizing, it’s knowing where to find it. I use the intertoobz as a reference to source material, rarely relying on it as primary source.</p> I had a history teacher in high school whose term paper every year was a research paper (he had a number of different ones to keep everybody honest.)
