A blog reborn...Good things happening over at Fine Books & Collections

Among the new things happening over at Fine Books and Collections is a new "group" blog. I am very pleased to say that I was involved in drafting the first crop of bloggers and I think it is off to a great start. The intent is that everyone will post about once a week, which should provide for some steady, interesting posts with a variety of voices and focus areas. Though there are a few asks still jelling, the crew as it stands includes the following:

• Exile Bibliophile, the ever mysterious Special Collections librarian
• Scott Brown, the original voice of this blog and owner of Eureka Books
• Brian Cassidy of Brian Cassidy, Bookseller fame.
• Jeremy Dibbell of Philobiblos
• Stephen Gertz of David Brass Rare Books
• Ian Kahn of Lux Mentis, Booksellers (that would be me...)
• Michael Leiberman who runs one of Seattle's great shops, Wessel and Lieberman
• Ann Loftin, editor of Fine Books and Collections
• Chris Lowenstein of the wonderfully named, Book Hunter's Holiday
• Forrest Proper, proprietor of Joslin Hall Rare Books

A riotous crew, if I do say so myself...and I do. I'm hoping to announce one or two more bloggers in the near future. So head over and read some interesting posts by people who write better than I.
