I’m Starting To Think Like a Librarian . . .

Over the last few years of moving, divorcing, cleaning, etc. I’ve cleaned out a lot of old books, videos, and more.  I am trying to keep things that are only truly meaningful, truly useful, and truly re-readable.  I’ve . . . succeeded reasonably well.

But as I think of purchasing new books, new videos, I find myself asking what I will do when I am done.  Do I keep them?  Sell them?  Gift them?  Will I reuse them?  Are they worth it?

This has me wondering what legacy I will leave in my life in the form of my own personal library.  I realized in fact that what I have is a personal library.

Each book, each DVD, each manga, each thing I place in it is not just for me – it’s for friends, relatives, and those to come.  When I am gone, it will be there.

This is also part of my motivation in turning my eBook only Focused Fandom books into print.  It’s about a solid legacy.

We should all think like Librarians.

Making Progress

Well I got the print files for the hard copies of Cosplay, Costuming, and Careers and Fanart, Fanartists, and Careers done.  Next step is to set them up and run test copies, which puts us into a very ambigious zone of delivery as those suckers have to arrive for me to go over them.

So hang in there.

Virus is gone, but I’m still not at 100%.  Though you get that after a trip to the dentist, a day of work, and a professional society meeting.
