Member's article published in sister FABS club
newsletter Jerry Morris, president of the FBS in 2005-06
and ardent researcher of book-related subjects, had an abbreviated version of an article printed in the October issue of the
Caxton Club of Chicago publication "The Caxtonian." The six-,
full-page article, under the heading Biblio-Connecting, has a subheading that describes the content aptly: "A Florida
bibliophile's diary of eight years spent cataloging other people's books." "Recently the current president of the Caxton Club told the editor of the 'Caxtonian' that he wanted
to see more articles form non-Caxton members," Jerry said in an e-mail. "And hence, the abbreviated version of 'Biblio-Connecting'
made it into print." An expanded version of the article can be found
on Jerry's blog, Biblio-Connecting. Check out Jerry's other websites, listed here: http://librarything.com/profile/moibibliomaniac
