Preface:
Rare books are the surviving relics of humankind’s very first steps into the world of portable information storage and mass communication – a field of study that’s meant a great deal to me personally over the past two decades as an early architect of the web. My goal is to bridge the two worlds by building a living web directory to index and connect all the collectors who preserve this valuable history for the rest of us. I work on location from various bookstores, libraries, and private collectors’ homes each week, and document the development process here on the blog as I continue to learn and build. If you’re a serious collector, I’d like to hear from you about how I can help you with this project, by focusing on more efficient communication and connection between you and other collectors like you.
