----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ A 2nd announcement that I am in the process of compiling a reading list of fun books on art, antiques, and collecting. Mysteries, novels, non-fictin (no reference, please). This is a list only. Amy Navratil Ciccone, from the University of Southern California, is writing book reviews for ARLIS update. Any contributions to the list would be much appreciated. A copy of the first go-around list follows. Thanks to all those who have contributed. For additions to the list, please contact me directly.
