Sobre mimI was an academic health sciences librarian for 37 years and worked in a medical school library. I was head of reference for many years but and worked with electronic resources and databases. I am now retired. I have been an avid miniature book collector since 1983, though I have many other interests as well. These include genealogy, family history, travel, reading, scouting and supporting mission work in my church.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI generally collect items that are under 4 inches, but prefer those that are under 3 inches or smaller. My choicest items are hand-made, hand-bound, hand-illustrated or hand-colored mini books, antique miniatures, limited edition mini's from small private presses and those small tomes with unique bindings. I also collect mass market miniatures. Since they are less expensive and much more widely available, I have many more of this type. Running Press miniature editions, for example, are beautifully designed, incredibly well made, and very inexpensive little books. Lately I have also been adding to my catalog at LibraryThing some of my favorite full-size books. I'm interested in books on printing, the book arts, Mormonism, history, family history and art. I also enjoy large size "coffee-table" books. I already have good bibliographic control over my collection, but LibraryThing just adds another dimension. I particularly like the graphic displays.
