There's a rough-around-the-edges country auction barn nearby that I really enjoy. A bunch of nice white unused linoleum tiles came up one day and nobody wanted them for a dollar. Someone yelled out to the auctioneer, "Why don't you use them for the bathroom floor? " His reply was, "I don't want to make any improvements in there. You should be out here bidding."

Nevertheless, contained in these pages are some book, ephemera, and antiques related articles. Some have appeared in various print and online publications, but are gathered here in their revised, unexpurgated, final form. All material is copyright protected, and may not be used without express permission. It will be awhile before this page is completed.
