Australia Mountaineering Library 14-Sep-2022 At 2:24:56 PM Damien Gildea

Hi John,

I have a pretty decent library at home and am thinking about making it, and any additions, more widely available at some point in the future. But not at my current home, so it won't be soon :-/

I wouldn't give yours away to a gym, they'll just get trashed/nicked/thrown out.

As you say, although such books and libraries aren't valued much now, there are some gems out there that will regain value in time (though a lot of dross won't!).

There are plenty of old guys out there in the polar and mountaineering world with great collections and they can't give them away, at least to anywhere that appreciates them. Interested libraries or organisations already have what they want so they maybe pick the eyes out of any collection and the rest just goes to waste.
