In Sound of Providence Wu Xie is a grave plunderer / antiquarian (depending on who's asking). We haven't been informed of his title in this drama, he may even be an archaeologist like his older relative. Whatever it turns out to be this sounds like a habit he should get rid of.

🎮🔍 Ah, "The Digital Antiquarian" strikes again with yet another thrilling saga of ancient computer #RPGs. Apparently, the world can't get enough of rehashing how Fallout 2 and Baldur's Gate shook the pixelated landscape of the 90s. 🕹️✨ Spoiler Alert: they were popular—breaking news from 1997, folks! 📅🚀

Slowly updating https://www.fromoldbooks.org/books-for-sale.html books for sale page.
I am not a bookseller by trade, but have accumulated hundreds of books over the years, and there are too many. The strategy is to try and sell exceptionally interesting ones first and maybe have money for groceries, too!
Some of these i bought to study the layout and typography (e.g. the Four Gospels fac simile). Which i did.

Currently reading, "A Walking Tour Round Ireland in 1865" by WW Barry.
Quite enjoyable. Could see it leading to a visit there myself some day with a few walks involved.

For anyone interested in Romantic essays about Welsh #folklore, #antiquarian studies, #Gothic and short stories, #HistoricalFiction or early #Tasmanian writing, allow me to share my comprehensive bibliography of Thomas Richards (1800-1877), formerly of Dolgellau before emigrating to Hobart via London in the early 1830s. Wherever possible, I have linked to #OpenAccess digital copies of any of his writings that I have been able to trace. This is a work in progress, so I hope to share future updates of the bibliography.

Spent Sat afternoon in #Pasadena at the
California Antiquarian Book Fair (https://www.abaa.org/cabookfair), full of #antiquarian books, maps & #ephemera. I picked up a copy of “The First #LosAngeles City and County Directory” at the Johnson Rare Books' booth. -
@isaacfreeman @aurynn @Br3nda @desttinghim here's my fave reference to that pamphlet. I wonder how London coffee is doing these days...

For the past few years I’ve been collecting scans of antiquarian books on #pomology. They’ve been the basis for private research and a few articles, and the occasional historic #perry or #cider recipe recreation. But I keep forgetting references, or losing notes, so finally put them all into #zotero! Should do the paper books too.

📚✨ Oh joy, another pulse-pounding tale of antiquarian excitement featuring... antennas and, uh, Margaret's letter? 😂 Because nothing screams thrilling adventure like vintage radio gear and forgotten correspondence. Let's all pretend we're not dozing off with this yawn-inducing treasure hunt through dusty pages! 📖😴
