Collection day

I took this photo when Paladian was collecting her pile of books bought at the book auction last night. The pile we got was primarily craft books but it also had a few art biographies of interest to both of us. The storeman is serving another customer who was collecting a small pile from the top shelf.

This particular storeman is a bibliophile in his own right as he has a private collection of 30,000 books. I am told that they fill almost every room of his house!
