eBay My World: anitalbb( 1784)

I'm interested in classical music,jazz, the fine arts, and antiquarian books. In my spare time, I do origami--have folded 5000+ cranes, & do pysanky. I love cooking, especially Middle Eastern & Far Eastern specialties.People love my almond macaroons.

On eBay I sell a wide variety of books & CDs, often by non-U.S. authors & artists. I've listed a variety of Italian-language, Spanish-language, & German-language books, as well as a few other European-language items.

I buy books, supplies, & computer-related materials on eBay.

I'm primarily a book collector, with about 35, 000 volumes; my house is filled to overflowing! About 2/3 of my collection are non-fiction, mainly science books. I buy several hundred books monthly & try & sell or donate an equal or greater amount so that my numbers don't increase further. My goal is to slowly decrease my book holdings to about 20, 000 volumes.

English, German, Spanish

My primary leisure activities are scholarly--reading, writing, art, music, gardening. Family is very important, as are friends and acquaintances. I'm active in several Women's Groups in Ann Arbor.

My favorite 21st Century woman authors are Elfrede Jelenik & Isabelle Allende, my favorite male authors are Michael Ondtaadje & Haruko Murakami. Favorite writer of all time: Tacitus.

I have an MPH & PhD in Atmospheric, Oceanic & Environmental Health Science. I write scientific materials for select clients.

Richard Titlebaum (American Artist & Writer, 1938-2006) was a personal friend. I am the custodian for his diaries & selected other materials, including unpublished poetry & novels. He left me a large number of paintings, all his sheet music, & his foreign language books. I purchased the balance of his books from his estate in June, 2007, to enlarge my collection, & have placed selected duplicates for sale on eBay. I am able to answer some questions concerning his art, some of which he sold on eBay as a self-representing artist.

Ann Arbor is a town of diverse cultures, & I enjoy meeting & learning from the many people I meet here. The Asian & Eastern European populations are probably the highest in total numbers. I can't speak Russian, I read a bit in Russian & various other Slavic languages as I slowly sound out the words. Oh, that I had the time to master Russian grammar & pronunciation!
