What’s On My Shelf?
January 13, 2022
I’m the type of person that likes to throw things away. Old? Throw it out. Damaged? Chuck it. Haven’t use it in three years? Goodbye! Don’t get me wrong, sometimes throwing something away can be a bad idea, especially when you actually need it.
Thus, my personal bookshelf at home is sparse. I’m a librarian … I don’t need to buy books. I can reread a book as many times as I want and get a book from anywhere I want. A few books are still floating around on my bookshelf and if you are interested, here they are:
- Illuminated Manuscripts of Germany and Central Europe in the J. Paul Getty Museum by Thomas Kren.
