It's nice to know that these books are being preserved. I hope many of them will be given to libraries where more people will be able to see and appreciate them.

When I was a student at the U of C, there was an annual prize for book collections, sponsored by Mr. Brooker. Every year the prizewinning collections were put on display at one of the university libraries. When I first heard about the prize, I thought, “Huh. Weird.” But then I saw one of the collections and thought, “A STUDENT did this? Huh. Cool!” Thank you for sharing more informations about Mr. Brooker, who seems like a lovely and interesting person!

Everything (to him). More ain't enough.
