I find it interesting what a book shelf can say about the owner.

 

(Sometimes I find myself looking at bookshelves in the background of clothing and furniture catalogue pictures, looking for insights into a mind)

I maintain several collections.

First World War naval history focused on operations in and around the Irish Sea.

E. Keble Chatterton - both naval and general maritime.

Rupert Hart-Davis' Mariner's Library series.

As far as possible I try for first or early editions. Sometimes with success.

 

As someone said: The only book regretted is the book not purchased.

My bookcases creak in a high wind.
