One of my most treasured and probably the most valuable book in my collection is the 1975 biography "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (from A to B & Back Again)" by Andy Warhol. I stood in line in a bookstore in downtown San Francisco to get a personalized inscription with a Campbell Soup can drawing from Andy.

I have been inactive for quite a while again, but am now running a Garage Sale Bookshop so I thought I would link this Facebook account and post about more of the books in my collection. 😁🤓 The post below is a description for listing in an online bookseller account when I was selling online. I tend to list a lot of details to accurately describe books of value.

I changed my profile pic after a few years of being inactive. I's a Goofy pic from "Walt Disney's Goofy in Giant Trouble," Whitman: A Big Little Book, with color illustrations on every page.

So I am kind of like Goofy, Abibliomaniac in Giant Trouble. I am a Book Collector & Seller. I have tons of really cool books and I would eventually like to find them good homes.

I have an ongoing Garage Book Sale during reasonable weather and by appointment. I plan to sell books on the internet through a book seller site. More information on that soon. In the mean time I hope you enjoy my book posts.

E. M. Forster (1879-1970)
1932: "I have to read a book at a certain rate and cannot look backwards or on. One of the pages turns out to be gold. I come to it with surprise, joy, and terror, and know it must be turned over like others. How lovely if the next page could be The End."
