SOME OF MY PERSONAL COPIES
Books from a selection which at some moment over the past 35 years changed my look at art, writing, life. Today they await, with a dozen other titles, my proper reward for their importance. Following and updating a pre-industrial book/personal library routine, the plan is made but the design is yet to be conceived.
