Books are my pals, even since a kid  – and sometimes books (by circumstance or convenience) are stashed at mysterious locales around the world.

Sometimes, i snap pics of the cache for future reference, sometimes they go to little /free libraries, sometimes into my “Liberated Literature” program. 

Regardless, sometimes, the bookcases and/or contents are captured for memory of spending time with friends in a still-life of sorts. As such, this dossier of evidence.

In this round-up is an assortment of books gathered here and there / sometimes used, sometimes new and sometimes re-collecting from someone’s house where the tome has fermented awaiting my pickup. 

Some have recently re-arrived (i assume) to me in present day (April 2020) and are waiting to be unloaded from a box and placed lovingly on a shelf. 

This little book appeared in prep for (now cancelled) Jack Kerouac preso and is driving directions for the roadtrip chronicled in OtR using Ggle Maps driving directions – a fun remix idea!

Letters from the “Dr” which are more prescient now than ever.

Picked up a Beat Museum looking forward to actually digging in.

50th anniversary documentary from the noted (and recently sold) Vancouver arts and culture weekly.

This one sent to Sooby in NJ (acquired in Sri Lanka).

Such a solid in-depth primer for Middle East history (though wasn’t meant to be that per se)
