So maybe you can give us the, a little bit of the backstory about your, uh, your collection and why it, what's, what's it made up of and why is it important now?

Well, um, There's lots of things to say to your good question.

Part of it is a James Bond story.

I was at a transition in my life more than I knew probably back then.

In the early 1980s, I had been asked to be not only a professor doing usual research, but also to work in Jesuit formation of younger Jesuits and in Jesuit administration.

That meant less time for studying the traditional old authors that I had written articles about, but it meant more travel to new places with other used bookshops to investigate.

So when we had conferences or meetings in various places and my colleagues were getting off the plane saying, Where are your restaurants and museums? I was saying, where are your flea markets and used bookshops? I had a chance to collect some of these things.

So I wonder if you might tell one or two of your favorites, either of getting one of these items or a book itself, kind of as you've traveled the world.
