Tom Allen books for sale

[Wagner, David]

Tom Allen lost his (unexpectedly sudden) fight with cancer in August.  Sandy, his partner, will be selling books from Tommy's library over the course of the next few months.  If anyone would like a keepsake, I encourage you to write Sandy.

Below she has listed some of the moth books, which includes a very nice collection of the MONA fascicles.

Hi Dave,

This is a very busy week for me, getting ready for the Burrowing Owl Festival on Sat., and trying to sell stuff and pack! I won't have time to list the butterfly books for a while -- may have to wait until after I have relocated. But I will list the moth books for you now as they will be harder for me to sell on my own.

I think that's it for now. Hope some of these might be of interest to someone. I know most of them are older, but Tom was a collector of butterfly and moth books from an early age. His dad used to bring them home to him, and he loved them.

Thanks, Dave.

All the best,
Sandy
