H. W. Brands
American Historian
I'm the farthest thing from a bibliophile. I purge my collection regularly: If I haven't read a book in a couple of years, I try to give it to someone who will.
Quote examples
William Lyon Phelps
American Educator

Quote examples
Norman MacCaig
Scottish Poet
I don't care whether a book is a first edition or not. I'm not a bibliophile in that word's natural sense.
