All the folks you mention below, with perhaps one exception that I can think of, wrote GREAT books about collecting; none of them, however, started an entire generation of American businessmen -- and others -- in this book collecting game by demonstrating its amenities and kindred affections. Dave PS I believe that the fellow's daughter was a turn-of-the-20th-century Bryn Martyr and that, in her old age she was quite a benefactor of the school.
