I found this beautiful collection on a beautiful night in fall strolling through Healdsburg. I came across an open building, with an old man placing books on each step on a long flight of stairs. He said to take a look at his little library and we went inside The Library of Shipwrecked Books. In this eclectic room filled with books and art and all the many things, I asked him which shelf was his favorite. He pointed to a shelf, and this small big book boldly caught my eye. One of those precious reads you want everyone else to read yet you don’t ever want to let your copy go.
