Am I a bookman or a book dealer??? The question was posed to me over the holiday and I must confess that it caught me a little off guard. I have always referred to myself as a book dealer, but bookman has a certain quality and most certainly rolls off the tongue easier... The powers that be over at WIKI have shed some light on the subject for us all:

Bookman - the definition was a studious or scholarly man, and now means one who writes, edits, publishes, or sells books (Hmm... I do sell them...)

Book Dealer - one whose profession is the buying and reselling of rare and used books

I guess that in all of the years in the business, I should have given this a little more thought, but better late than never I guess. I suppose that I will leave the final decision on my general title in the world as it pertains to my profession to you, but if you see me in the near future - how about a nod for bookman. The term dealer seems harsh and is generally associated with those we either seek to put behind bars or those we dread negotiating with over the price of the upgraded back seat airbag on the new Toyota... I have not become a DEALER…have I?

Hope this helps and HAPPY NEW YEAR from your friendly, neighborhood BOOKMAN in the Fork!!!
