It sounds silly, but could be more legitimate than you think: The last time I brought a lot of old art books and novels I had read Shakespeare and Co. to sell at Berkeley, the buyer took one look at the titles in my stack and said, "You are from the east coast, is not it?" New Hampshire, born and raised. Incredible, no? What does your books say about you?
