My husband and I are currently looking to buy a house. We are at the moment living in an 800ish square foot rental. It is nice and has been sufficient for the last few years. However, being a book collector means I need space and mostly moisture free space at that. The room used to store the books is terrible. Mold grows everywhere. Mushrooms have been found growing on the windows. Also the room is six feet wide, twelve feet long, and the ceiling is ten feet tall! It is a nice space with the exception of the moisture.

Welcome to Pride 2024!! Be safe! Be vigilant! Celebrate who you are!!
On a book-related topic, I am a part of a lot of book Facebook groups and one question that consistently comes up is what to do about bad smelling books. Most of the time it’s a book that belonged to their nine-pack-of-cigarettes-a-day grandmother and they just can’t bear to part with it.

I am a middle-aged book collector. For a long time, I was the young guy on the gay mystery collector scene. As we get older, the friends I’ve made are starting to unload their books as they downsize their collections and possessions. The wonderful thing about that is I am the first person they contact about selling their books to, but the bad part of my friends downsizing is I am the first person they reach out to.
