Collectors, bless them all. Quite enjoyed the efforts of "Jen the Zen" to prepare the descriptions. More at their website https://www.biblioctopus.com/. I confess my love for books and those that create them. Are all rare book dealers as creative? (I'm not in the group that has the money to be among the anointed).
Murder, last gasp of the desperate man.
