A few days ago, a friend and colleague mentioned that she had a number of old books dating back, in some cases, to the late 19th century, and asked if I knew where she might find out if they had any significant value. We’re both readers, of course, and book people, and as it happens I’m on friendly terms with Larry Turk, the proprietorial genius of Quarter-Price Books on S. Shepherd.
Yesterday, en route to one of our usual coffee-laced writing and thinking sessions, we stopped by Mr. Larry’s shop, whereat she got some good advice about her books, and I got the chance to test my new camera, a Panasonic GF1, on a living human.
Me Like. Leica Lite…. (Not quite so easy to use but I can put my hands on it now. An M9, maybe the ultimate picture-making machine for me, I can’t afford. I have no complaints about the price, you understand… I just don’t currently HAVE it.)
