I'm an old man collector and a recent bookseller. Ed Smith's experience resonated with me. Our life experiences are different, but eerily similar. Our library perusing styles are clearly parallel. I live in Texas, so I won't get a chance to talk with him. But, if we did meet, we might just sit there and stare at each other. This post was very meaningful for me.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'll make sure Ed sees this. I know he'll appreciate it.

Finding that poem must have been a wonderful and exciting experience. Robert Frost has been my favorite poet since my early days of college. Your article brought all that back to me. I feel the excitement as I search through my meager bookcase of favorite books. Thank you!
