A readable trip report

[nancylebov]

Normally I get bored by diary writing, but this one has how to find big stashes of old books through ebay, the trek to the big stash and dealing with huge quantities of old books, daylilies, mummies, the evils of bookworms.....

Object lessons for travelers, authors, bibliomaniacs, and those who admire mummies and Hemerocallis

Found through magicdragon2, a high-info lj.

Thanks for passing that along!

That was really interesting. I wish that daylily farm was closer; that part of West Virginia is about four hours or so from where I live.

And people who enjoyed that should also read what I take is the sequel: To remove mustiness from old tomes, or perhaps prevent the dropsy (http://williamtozier.com/slurry/comment/books/magicSpell.html).
