Selected Bibliography. Index. From an on-line posting: "J. Kevin Graffagnino is a man of his word, or words. In a world increasingly dominated by cell phones that are much smarter than their operators, it's nice to know there are still people who are a little nutty about books. Actually, Graffagnino is more than a little nutty. He has gone zinging past "bibliophile, " a term to describe your run-of-the-mill lover of books, to "bibliomaniac, " a person whose love of books might seem downright pathological. He says he will be happy if the epitaph on his tombstone contains the single word: "Bookman." Condition: Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Signed on fep.
