The closet cleanout i described in my post about finding old magazines actually started when i was trying to organize a bunch of lost and forgotten books - as i "rescued" 2 old library carts to repurpose at my house - these came from the FAA and were used for technical manuals and the like - i didnt really do anything to restore them except power wash decades of crud off of them and then liberally apply some lemon Pledge -- the worn patina goes well with the rest of my crapola and they are pretty handy but in going through closets full of books i found some treasures that are interesting
This one i think is really cool, from Grits Gresham -- signed - would love to share a pic of it with Mr Tom on one of his social media outlets, but i am not well versed on using "X"
Lots of Hemingway stuff, but these are coffee table books highlighting America's favorite alcoholic
Bill Jordan's classic - curiously with the font on the spine of the dust jacket printed upside down --
Next up is the Rifle Omnibus - flanked by a copy of the Good Book
And a heavily used copy of The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns - by Mr .270, Jack O'Connor
I've been an avid reader my whole life -this is a mere fraction of the pile , as i have tons of more general interest and non fiction on hand , but these are the gems of the firearms and hunting categories -- i only hope that one day i will have somebody in my family that is interested enough to pass my books (and guns) down to
I have or have had a number of those titles as well, including a copy of "Sheep and Sheep Hunting" that Jack autographed for me. Sold the book, but still treasure a letter from him.
I thought Ruark was America's favorite alcoholic ...
Some awesome reading there. Most of which are on my "to acquire" list. I'm working on reading the good book all the way through. Up until now, I've just read parts, which included most of the NT. I'm keeping a different bookmark in the Old Testament, Proverbs, Psalms, New Testament, and Revelation (where we're studying in bible study). Right now I'm into II Kings in the Old Testament, and I'm into Ephesians in the New Testament.
One of the interesting stories is Samuel, with some pretty interesting stuff in I Samuel 15:
32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
I can imagine Samuel as this old man, when he hews the king into pieces.
