My personal library, accumulated over 40 years and moved from coast to coast to coast to continental divide, is being downsized for a life in a smaller volume. As a result the majority will soon be boxed up for donation to the Santa Fe Public Library.
I will be happy to part with any of these treasured volumes for reasonable prices. There is literature, history, religion, physics, chemistry, biology, computers, math, statistics, music, science fiction, young adult, and whatever. (There are contributions from other members of the family.) 114 W Lupita Rd, 10AM to 4PM, Christmas in December, where else will you find a copy of the Bell Systems Technical Journal July-August 1978 this weekend? Though be warned, the lowest price for that on Amazon is $159 plus shipping. -- rec -- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com |

Roger, I advise against retirement, AND I advise against selling your library. I will come and stand at the door and keep buyers from coming in. Just the act of shuffling your books around from disheveled pile to disheveled pile helps to maintain memory traces. Don’t do it! Nick Nicholas S.

I knew someone with a very large library who was planning to move to Ecuador. Instead of paying to ship them, she had the bindings cut off and had them scanned - a lot easier for automatic document feeding systems. Probably not legal, even if you dispose of the originals, but at least it would be more justifiable to your own conscience if you have a problem with it. Just a thought.

Roger -
I am just *finally* taking an interest in books again after ending a 15 year relationship with a book hoarder last Spring. We were drawn to one another as "bibliophiles" when we met, but to give you a magnitude of the problem, even after she moved out and filled a 1400 sq foot loft with (mostly) books, I have boxed up and put in outside storage a full "cord" of books. Yes, I measure books by the cord! Some of you may remember the bookstore we opened on Aztec Street around 2006-2007 named "Hunt and Gather". Leo and his wife (formerly Books and more Books) now have a bookstore in the same location. I wanted to name it "Fahrenheit 451" and put a big stack of encyclopedias with alternate printed covers (e.g. Qu'ran, Bible, Torah, Rig Veda, US Constitution, memoirs of Richard M. Nixon, etc.) and a sign reading "you buy it, you can burn it $5.00) next to the fireplace. Same goes for any "real" book in the place too. For anyone who has tried to burn a book, you will know that books don't burn worth shinola except in a very hot (i.e. roaring airtight stove) fire, and on top of that Santa Fe's burn ordinances prohibited this because after all the inks (especially in older books) contain heavy metals, etc. and the chimney smoke would have been hazardous waste. I don't know if I will make it by, but I'm betting aside from half your library duplicating my own, that you must have a few cool books I can't pass up. - Steve

Come on, Nick, I'm counting on you to haul away all the chemistry books! You don't have enough material science to shuffle around, your memory traces are getting all idealist. I'll give you some Lysenko to take home. We're keeping a studio apartment here in Santa Fe and aiming for a 43-44 foot sailboat in Boston. The books need new homes. I've got multiple other strategies for keeping memory traces active that don't involve sheltering and heating cubic yards of space to keep cords of paper dry and warm. Most of them are happier as digital copies anyway. -- rec -- On Sat, Dec 5, 2015 at 5:59 PM, Nick Thompson <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thanks for the non-destructive scanning link, Arlo.
As for “first sale” doctrine (I’ll have to read up on that), I have on occasion used the “buy it once” principle with respect to music, but not until recent times. Over the past four decades, I have bought most of John Denver’s albums on vinyl, 8-track, cassette, and CD. After spending maybe 300 inflation-adjusted dollars for the same content, I feel morally justified for getting a copy from a torrent, maybe even using an industrial partner in crime (i.e. iTunes Match) to get near-perfect versions.

Another alternative is the ScanSnap SV600. It’s a bit cheaper than the above, but probably not as fast to use as the above.

I just had my dissertation scanned and stored in a PDF file because I had only one copy left. I went to a FedEx office, handed it over and told them what I wanted. Five minutes later they handed it back, copied the file to my thumb drive, and said, "that will be $55". At that rate you would have to pay several tens of thousands for 43 boxes of books? Maybe there's a bulk rate. Frank Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Phone On Dec 7, 2015 7:02 AM, "Gary Schiltz" <[hidden email]> wrote:
