Books And More Books! - In The Nutmeg Tavern

[winnerscreed]

I just found this live stream, I don't like that I missed it. This is a great topic. Real books have always been my best friends. I never got into reading on Kindle and the like.
Thank you Townsends for sharing.

As if I don't have enough books already, watching Jon talk about these books, now I have to add a few more to my library!

I've learned that with video games as well. You buy them when they come out or within a year or so of their release. Then play them when you get around to it. If you wait too long they become out of production and people 500% increase the price of them due to the rarity of them. I decided to start collecting consul games to my consoles. If your parents try to force you to get rid of them in a spring cleaning or forced cleaning do not get rid of your video games as they will be worth something a few decades later. I really wish I did not get rid of any of my gameboy games.

Sorry I missed this live! It was a pleasure to listen to this. Keep up the good work!

I came across a book (Tolstoy's essays if I recall) of my grandmother's that had a stamp in the front indicating that it was from her lending library (charge of something like 1d a week) which considering she ran a haberdashery in Mitcham was probably just a couple of shelves.

Nebraska has so may restrictions on alternative building.

I haven't been to the Nutmeg Tavern in a long time, it's different, with only Jon on screen and no Ryan reading the comments.

Elizabeth Drinker’s diary. She was a Quaker in Philadelphia.

Are you familiar with the Foxfire books? Very rich with information of Appalachian culture. They detail on making everything they needed and the lifestyle.

Also a couple of the Federalist Papers

I read a Midwife's Tale, purchased from you, and it was fascinating and very educational.

When I was a student in Munich I loved the Bavarian National Library (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek). You could read books from the 18th and even 17th century on all topics, like cannon gunnery or spices. A library is an important part of the Inheritance of a culture.

Thanks for sharing with us Jon, Lauren and Ivie. Enjoyed your coverage of libraries. Looking up some of those Old Books and how much they are now is unreal the value of some of them. I still haven't found a reasonable priced (to me) Black Powder Bible handbook that I'm looking for. Maybe some day?? Thanks for sharing this time with us, stay safe and keep up the fun you all have around there. Fred.

Shout out to Washington Irving and to whoever wrote Wieland!

I was hoping you’d make and explain the first tomato sandwiches

Recruiting a Masters of Library Science grad student from Indiana University looking for a cataloging capstone project sounds like a great, free way to have your library cataloged so you can share all of its contents with the world. ;) If I had had an opportunity like this when I was in grad school getting my MLIS, I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

Very grateful for this weekly livestream

Your library cannot be a proper one until you have Washington's Diaries.

I remember seeing a Subscription Library in Cincinnati. It was basically for historians and legal specialists. Carnegie made public libraries available and while taxes support many of the libraries today, they aren't appreciated as much as they should be.
