PS Re: [EXLIBRIS] Best Memoirs of Book Collectors/Dealers?

[David Klappholz <d.klappholz@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

PS Anent my question re AEN: given that my collecting interest is the 
history of book collecting, (rare/antiquarian) bookselling, and (rare 
book) librarianship, I've read virtually all the books that have been 
suggested, the older ones 20-25 years ago...and I found most of them 
delightful.

PS The bibliography at the end of Nick Basbanes first book includes 
all the classics, virtually all of them fascinating reads.
