The author has a personal library of around four thousand books. It has grown over the years. Living in Sydney now, he goes to book fairs. And he buys books that interest him. Does he come across books that he already owns? Yes! Paying attention to this, over three months he found nearly forty books. Some of them were from a long way back in the past, and he had not thought about them for years. He began to explore what these books meant to him now. This book is the result of that exploration.
