The Antiquarian.
He Invites Me Into His Midtown Apartment One September Afternoon.
I Always Thought It Was Rather More Of An Archive Than A Place To Live, Which Was Also What I Liked Most About It.
He Lets Me Wander Among Rows And Rows Of Bookcases Filled Floor-To-Ceiling With Books From The Last Five Centuries. 20,000, Maybe 30,000 In The Collection. Plus Antique Maps, Prints, Taxidermy, All Sorts Of Ephemera.
He’S Wearing A Chambray Shirt Under A Vest I Instantly Covet.
It’S Not Overly Worn, But Hardly New, Either.
He Tells Me He Traded For It In Taos. Gave Up A Dear Copy Of John Muir’S The Boyhood Of A Naturalist.
Says He Has No Regrets And Won’T Let Me Buy It Off Of Him, Either.
Luckily, I Have My Other Sources.
