We've Been Tagged

Excuse us for being a little behind the eight ball here, but Alan at OCCAM'S CARBUNCLE has book tagged us after being book tagged himself and so on and so forth. It would seem that there is some sort of grand game of "you're it" circulating throughout the boogeysphere. We're it: I'm a casual collector of old Victorians; Walsingham has an impressive and growing Folio collection; both of us despise dustjackets.

THE MONARCHIST
Number of Books I Own: 200 hardcover, 100 softcover.
Last Book I Bought: "Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom", Conrad Black
Last Book I Read: "Beaverbrook", AJP Taylor
Five Books That Mean a Lot to Me: I'm a rather one dimensional, true connoisseur of military and naval history works, some of the best being Churchill's WWII Memoirs, Tuchman's Guns of August, Wedgwood's Thirty Years War, Parkman's Montcalm and Wolfe...

WALSINGHAM (just edit this post, W)
