January 26, 2010 § 19 Comments

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

In speaking with a Dear Friend and Soror this morning, she let me know that she is selling parts of her library.

Her loss would most certainly be your gain.  I am intimately familiar with this particular library – it is immaculate and comprehensive …
