Observance of Hermits

08/10/2026

I recently joined a group called “Vintage Paperback Books”. To say that it’s right up my alley would be pretty accurate. To say that it brings me joy - is to say nothing. And not only ogling other people’s collections but digging out my treasures and trying to fit them in some sort of categories. It has been great fun, and I am not even close to being done.
So, let me invite you to that very strange journey. I will also try to come up with some catchy captions. Feel free to participate. Let me know and see where your interests lie.
I am open to trade and purchase offers, but conversation is just as welcome. Feast your eyes if you’re like me and love these…

This section gets very little attention in my shop, but I love it! Some of my favorite things to read are literary biographies. So, here’s my stash. For sale. $10 for a NF/NF and $5 for everything else.

Any Bergmanologists around?
I present a collection of movie books that I scrounged together. Art House Cinema. There are more Hollywood books, I’ll do them next. These are all for sale together, or separately, or in pieces. Prices all negotiable.
