About Me

I am a self diagnosed Bibliophile.

This is a place for me to talk about books I love, share my ebay auctions for rare and out of print books, and keep updates of my progress as I work toward opening an independant book store in my neighborhood.

If you got a friends request from me, I either know you, or we have something in our interests in common, or both.

If we don't know each other:

I really did look at your profile and:

1)It didn't send me into epileptic fits, so I thank you.

2)You don't seem like an idiot.

Olivanders

Maybe it's just me, but I think a book store should something like Olivanders Wand shop (minus the dust). I don't feel like I can browse and hang out in a sleek shiny book store.Loving "His Dark Mater...
