Introduction

Hello all,
This is my first ever post on my blog (which I just set up). I'm hoping to keep track of my progress toward going fulltime in RV next spring. I have acquired a 1984 Toyota Odyssey class C, 4 cyl 4-speed stickshift. It's about 22ft bumper to bumper, so downsizing from my 900sf apartment is going to be interesting.

According to the previous owner, the RV runs well (good!) but there's lots to check out and fix before I get on the road. I'm in full research mode on the Web and have found lots of good folk in forums and groups to ask questions of.

I've been a professional bookseller for about 20 years (all used, antiquarian, rare). My specialty is movable books, which includes pop-ups, carousels, tunnels, flaps, grommets, transformations, and more.

I also publish a newsletter about the author Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. I've been doing it for 13 years now, and plan to continue doing it from the RV, wherever I might be.

Other authors of special interest are: Peter O'Donnell, Ross Thomas, and J.D. Robb. Of course, there are many writers I read, just not many I collect. I plan to do some bookscouting from the RV and selling on the Web at Biblio.com (which I do now).

Please feel free to comment. I hope to join a community of like-minded folk. As I said, this is my first blog so I'm a total novice at it. All help and advice appreciated.

Cordially,
Lindig
