One of his prize possessions is a copy of the Apocrypha printed in Italy in 1681 &#8211; bought at auction back in 2004 &#8211; and a beautifully illustrated Book of Knowledge that hit the presses in the North of England in 1764.  My own collection isn&#8217;t as illustrious.  A first edition Artemus Ward, signed by the man himself, which I bought at my favorite Oxfam Bookstore on Marylebone in London.   A superbly old and beautifully preserved novel by Mark Twain, compliments <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buffyholt.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/08\/sensational\/\"target=_blank>My Darling Steph<\/a>.  And a copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald&#8217;s Tender is the Night, circa 1934, without its dust jacket, sadly, found laying in a nondescript antiques store in North Carolina for a mere eight dollars.   <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man&#8217;s library is a sort of harem. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson The Euro spent some one-on-one time with his folks back in the autumn and I&#8217;ve just gotten around to downloading the photos from his trip.
