Hi! MJ> Yeah, moving books is a total pain. A lot of diehard book people solve that MJ> by never moving, but that's not always a viable solution.
In my case it is indeed not an option. Let's just say that prices in Israel are high and my salary is zilch at the moment... MJ> As you might have noted, most of my books are monographs (books of pictures, MJ> most usually by one photographer) so the reproductions of the photographs in MJ> ink on paper are of paramount importance. A-ha. That's quite an admission. Now, finally, I can conclude my thinking through of a response to a certain e-mail... I suppose I will elaborate on this one no longer since it is not polite. However, let me start getting ready for potatoes and eggs coming in. As long as I remember myself in front of an album book (book of pictures, usually from some museum or exhibition), I remember arguing with my dad that it need not be bought this album. That relates to the fact that I grew up in Moscow where we had quite many museums for dirt cheap prices. That included all kinds of temporary exhibitions... Well, I can see why you collect monographs, but I don't think I'd ever collect any. Though I've started to visit local photo exhibitions given the opportunity... MJ> For this, you could hit your local library once a week. Take out a few books MJ> and get to know the pictures, then take 'em back. That way you only have to MJ> move a couple of books at a time. <s> You really don't want me started on this one. Simply put, there are no photo related books for sale or for rent, period. After all we're talking Israel suburbia, not New York City or Boston Metro Area :). Anyway, I accept your points, and keep my opinion :). --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625
