When I collect books, I used to think about passing them on to my future nieces and nephews. These days, I’m more likely to think about leaving them behind in an apocalypse scenario where I got eaten by an alien. Whoever finds my books will need them, because I collect some fairly unique stuff, and because there will be no internet.

Anyway, if they find this I hope they have no idea why it was important to us and they slice it up by volume like a loaf of bread.
