Pandemic Book Browsing : Sylvia Townsend Warner Edition

February 15, 2021Thomas

Another in my series where I post a video about someone’s home library, or a used bookshop browse, or anything that allows us to wander through a room of old books.

You don’t have to be a fan of Sylvia Townsend Warner or Arthur Machen to enjoy this quiet stroll through R.B. Russell’s library (and mind). In addition to perusing his crowded shelves Russell tells about how he became a book collector. Nothing fancy here. Just someone who loves his books.

    Not in real life, though I have actually seen this video before! I must have got there in some Miss Hargreaves search sometime.

Lovely again. I collect books for the same reason this gentleman does. And I even recognized quite a few titles on his shelves, though I’m not at all familiar with Arthur Machen

I really enjoyed this…and he made me curious about Arthur Machen.
