The Antiquarian.

 

He invites me into his Midtown apartment one September afternoon.

I always thought it was rather more of an archive than a place to live, which was also what I liked most about it.

He lets me wander among rows and rows of bookcases filled floor-to-ceiling with books from the last five centuries. 20,000, maybe 30,000 in the collection. Plus antique maps, prints, taxidermy, all sorts of ephemera.

He’s wearing a chambray shirt under a vest I instantly covet.

It's not overly worn, but hardly new, either.

He tells me he traded for it in Taos. Gave up a dear copy of John Muir's The Boyhood of a Naturalist.

Says he has no regrets and won’t let me buy it off of him, either.

Luckily, I have my other sources.
