SOME OF MY BELOVED BOOK COLLECTION - URSULA'S INCLUDED

[Myra Thomas-Rhodes]

Photographs showing the bookcase in the library, with some of my wonderful books, that all mean so much to me. Down in the bottom right section, are Ursula Wilby's two books, and I am sorry Ursula, but I see they are actually sitting rather close to some of the forensic books! This should be the dog section, but always one or two books end up put back in the wrong place, and then another tidy up happens! You will also see my skeleton in the photos - this we called "Budget Bart," because he is only four feet tall.However, once he was unpacked, we had to change the name to "Budget Bartesse," because on closer inspection, he was a she !!
Three quarters of the books shown here are non-fiction, ranging from dog books of all kinds to Africa and African animals, a forensic section, which I have been studying at Uni, Ethics, Otters, History, Literature and so on. Although I don't have any children, there is a huge section on children's books, either because they are beautiful books, and /or stories, but mainly because I have loved the illustrations. .
Our house is filled with books, including some rare and valuable Setter and Labrador books. One very special one is The Pointer and His Predecessors, by William Arkwright, published in 1902 and limited to 750 copies, mine being number 48.

Amazing collection, Myra!
Have you slept a moment for the past ten years? :-)) It must take a tousand years to read those many books, but when have you the time for it beside the active life style we all know you live?
A collection to treasure it is.
