So many books, too little time. If there's something on my shelf marked Available that you'd like to trade for, feel free to ask. However, due to costs, I'm only shipping within the U.S. Books marked PC are not available for trade - they're up on my bookshelf so I can keep track of my reading. As I find inexpensive soft covers of them, I'll make them available.

PLEASE NOTE: Book covers pictured on shelf do not necessarily reflect the edition I have. I just like to have a bookshelf with pretty pictures!

QUOTE:
“But I want to extol not the sweetness nor the placidity of the dog, but the wilderness out of which he cannot step entirely, and from which we benefit. For wilderness is our first home too, and in our wild ride into modernity with all its concerns and problems we need also all the good attachments to that origin that we can keep or restore. Dog is one of the messengers of that rich and still magical first world . . . there is not a dog that romps and runs but we learn from him."

– Mary Oliver, "Long Life"
