Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet No. 20
“I finally discovered a cause worthy of my compulsive shopping, list-making, and intense need for curmudgeonly solitude. For two years now I've supported myself as an online bookdealer.The following is a list of the high (and low) lights of my siftings through attics, trash heaps, and the treasured possessions of dead people.1. Two signed Arthur Conan Doyle titles from his spititualist/fairy period. The books were nibbled and the autographs were cut from correspondence and pasted onto the flylea...ves. Nice, but not great. Laid-in, though, was a flyer for a Doyle appearance at Carnegie Hall that brought nearly $1000 at auction (my best page rate to date).2. Thirty years of the recorded phone conversations of a paranoid landlord. They spanned every home-recording format from reel to reel to CD-R. They were layered on every surface in the house. I wish I could've gotten these into the hands of an electronic musician or performance artist.3. Declassified documents from Post-WWII Berlin all from the collection of a single diplomat/functionary.MoreLess
