Pamela -
Great reference... thanks! A couple of Trollopes! I'll mention it to
my wife, she probably has a copy somewhere or will find one within a
week (really, she is *that good*) ...
Sigh. Not much of an option in Manhattan. You've gotta discard.
Especially when you calculate what it's costing in rent for each book.
Yah! A friend of mine lived there a year (designing for Gap of all
things) and rented an apartment about the size of my kitchen for
$3K/month (probably a bargain today). But hairy-chested bibliophiles
*don't* live in Manhattan... for this very reason.
Best of luck with the conversion from pulp to firewood!
I need to make a modification to the modern pellet stove that has a
little rasp-like grinding device on the north end of the south-driving
feed-screw so that you can toss books in the hopper instead of bags of
pellets. Or maybe couple a wood-chipper to the pellet stove. Though I
am a purist, I think pellet stoves are for sissies.
The next addition I think I'll build *from* books. Stack them like
bricks, drill holes and drive re-bar... throw a little mud-plaster on
the outside, some lime-plaster on the inside and "viola"!
Jim Rosenaeu of Berkeley has an angle on making bookshelves from
books... how self-referential is that?

PS. Just asked... and damned if Suzanne doesn't claim to have one of
Anthony's books... I'll probably have it in my hands before bedtime...
but it is Fanny I want to get a shot at... next week I'm sure.
