+Initially conceived as a venue for parking information about antiquarian booksellers prior to having sufficient documentation to create documented [[http://www.wikipedia.org|Wikipedia]] entries.
+One project I am parking here for my own purposes (at least for now) is a series of [[biographies of women in the antiquarian book trade]]. This grows out of a series of discussions on the email Discuss list for booksellers in the [[http://www.abaa.org|ABAA]], which often prompt reminiscences by booksellers of colleagues. This will attempt in part to collect these recollections and biographical information. I have been drawing primarily from the American book trade and including booksellers who have died.
+Update 31 March 2026: The ABAA updated its website in late 2025 and thus the links to archived ABAA newsletters were all broken. I will be slowly tracking those down in odd spare moments.
