Re: Collecting

You're right, Auralie. Books aren't a collection; they are an accumulation. At least ours are. Besides plants [gardening, botany, agriculture, et cetera], we have substantial accumulations of books on food [Indian, Mexican, Turkish, French, and Other Ethnic], science [the whole shebang--paleontology to particle physics], all the jibberish I wrote, plus literature, poetry, and reference. We also have field guides to nearly everything everywhere, such as "Where to Collect Minerals, Rocks, and Fossils in the Northeastern Quadrant [of the US]."
