If you ever make it back to a small town in Nova Scotia called Windsor, you'll find an old used bookstore on the outskirts of town. I think it is (or was) called Loomers. This character has it all. When I'm in the area, a visit there is usually good for 4 to 5 hours. Being an antique map collector, I find it hard to pass up used bookstores, but this was more then I could've hoped for. Maps from all over the world, all eras, all medium (even glass positives). He also had quite a collection of antique poster bills showing concerts, circus', and what ever other attractions came to the area. Full size color prints of pages from the Book of Kells. Quite a fantastic collection of antique photos and postcards (if you ever get the urge to do another Nose Flute ;). He's not into the money, he just does it to meet people. The stories are priceless. Best, Tyson - sounding a bit like a MasterCard commercial
