Some interesting titles of books I found in the Oak Knoll Bookstore:
Anatomy of a Typeface, Lawson.
- Note: Mike already has this book. He has two.
Adventures in Editing, Towne.
- An older work by a man who describes his calling to and delight in editing.
Illustrated Library of Travel, Exploration, and Adventure: Central Asia, ed. Bayard Taylor.
- This one was quite old, with delicious tooling in the cracking leather cover.
Book & Folks, Teall. With chapter titles including:
- "Memoirs of an 'Omniverous Reader': Pre-college Years"
- "Memoirs of an 'Omniverous Reader': College & After"
- "His Majesty the Book"
- "A Little Weeding in the Garden of Books"
- " 'Style' "
- "Freedom in the Kingdom of Books"
The Bric a Brac Series: Personal Reminiscences by Constable & Gillies, ed. Stoddard.
- With the quote tooled in the cover "infinite riches in a little room"
A Snuff-boxful of Bibles, Wilbur Macey Stone.
- With pictures of snuff boxes fitting two small and two teensy Bibles.
