    A selection of my recently deceased father's library is going to be auctioned this weekend in Brisbane. My father was a devoted and obsessed book collector. But when it came time to review his approximately 8000 books, it was obvious that what drove my father's collecting was a passion for knowledge and intellectual experience, not the book as an object.
