Re: Anyone here work in the rare book trade?
I'd like to see LJ writing on the various book-worn academic degenerates and characters of the rare book trade. Servants of the ivory tower literati, tattered with concepts and commerce, using old paper to profit from inspiring immersion in deeper experience in modern day baron wannabes/ self-actualized men. Could be good...
LJ's text may be embittered by the author continuing his own self-destruction condemning his own work to be destined for similar space amongst the dusty shelves of his collection. Or he could go Ford Madox Ford meets Dostoevsky meets Sebastian Horsley with the experience, who knows?
As far as the gig, meh, got anything to lose?
