On Book Collecting – A Tiring Hobby

I’ve been collecting books for my entire life. Mostly, I’ve gotten rid of them, tens of thousands of them – maybe hundreds of thousands. They’re just too heavy to carry around and I don’t own a home. Never have and possibly never will – like so many others. So it’s pretty ridiculous that I have five (actually I just counted – it’s seven)  tubs full of books – the ones I haven’t been able to let go. I think it’s time – but I’m not entirely sure how to go about it.

It’s unlikely that I’ll ever read any of these again. Yet, I kind of want to ‘have’ them anyway. The bulk of them are my ‘Vagabond’ books. Books that are by or about vagabonds or that feature the word Vagabond in the title. As a collection, they are unique – but aside from a few key books – they will likely never be worth very much. When I started collecting them, I think I thought – someday I’ll be a famous author and have a private study/library. These will look great on those shelves. That doesn’t seem to be happening.

They don’t look so great in the tubs and frankly. Every time I move, they get heavier and heavier.

Here’s what I’m thinking – as much as I hate to say it – as soon as I stop paying the hosting bill each year or renewing the Vagobond.com domain – this site will disappear. Which means unless I pay for years past whenever I might die – this site is going to exist for only a little longer than I will. Thanks to sites like the internet archive – it might exist longer, but that is no guarantee either.

One of the things I like about blockchain is the permanent nature of it – though, to be fair, that is also not guaranteed. Still, it’s slightly better than this site surviving. I’ve put chrisdamitio.com on a free host with a small html site – so that one might last longer. I’ve also put a good amount of stuff on blockchain and in a semi-permanent way at vagabond.cent.co – those are polygon NFTs and presumably hosted on IPFS – so they are slightly more durable.

I should get to the point. My plan is to take pictures of each of the books in my collection and then post them as NFTs in a sort of centralized place and then link them here. Then I’m going to take my old ‘Vagobond Travel Media’ corporate imprinter and mark each book before I take them to the used book store and accept whatever the proprietor there will pay for them. Some of the more valuable ones I’ll probably sell on Ebay.

Fuck, it sounds like a lot of work. I better get to it.

First Attempt: I tried but couldn’t. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I don’t know why. It’s like a mental illness. I don’t need them. I just want them and don’t want to let go of them.

I suppose the first step is knowing it’s a problem.

Here’s a list I put together a few years ago:

 

Of Vagabonds, Radicals, Magicians, Mystics, and Visionaries

a catalog of my personal library by CD Damitio

For all of my life, I have been entranced, enthralled, and captivated by books. I’ve long been a bibliophile. It is this that has driven my hand to write, driven my feet to travel, driven my brain to think, and driven my soul to dream. Books drive me – they always have. Tens of thousands of books have come and gone from me – for a couple of years, I owned a small book store in Reedsport, Oregon – it started as an antiques store but then became an equal or greater part book store. That might have been the most satisfying work I’ve ever done. I sold the shop in 2017 before moving my family back to Hawaii after the nightmare president was elected. Since then, I’ve continued buying and selling and have whittled my collection down to about the 200 books listed below. 

Topic Collections: 

1. Vagabonds, Bums, Hobos, Scoundrels – including Travel Narratives
2. Sufism/Buddhism/Alternative Religion
3. Moon and Mars w/ Select Sci-Fi
4. Antichrist Titles
5. Counterculture/Communes/Anarchism
6. Gems and selected authors 

Vagabonds, Bums, Hobos, Scoundrels – including Travel Narratives

The first book I remember buying was with birthday money when I was 9 years old. I bought it at Village Books in Big Bear Lake, California. It was $4.95 plus tax, a princely sum for an 9 year old in 1980. The book was 

1) *The Kids Book of Games for Cars, Trains, and Planes (1980) by Rudi McToots and Dreadnaught.

The dedication of the book reads: 

This book is for nomads, travelers, gypsies, vagabonds, explorers

ramblers, hobos, hitch-hikers, and freewheelers everywhere. 

I’ve often wondered what I would have turned out like if I had not bought that particular book. I’m certain that I would not be me, I would definitely be someone else. I’m not sure how to order this catalogue of my books, but I know that this book comes first. I still find fun and inspiration in it 40 years later. This book inspired a love of history, travel, magic tricks, and much more. 

From here, let’s jump to hobo’s and vagabonds. In 1999, I’d quit a tech job at a startup called Tech Planet in Seattle. I bought a VW Bus for $150 and moved into it. After a cold winter in Seattle and collecting unemployment because the company had failed shortly after I quit – I bought a ticket to China. Before I left, I was doing a lot of reading – my bus (and everywhere else I’ve ever lived) was stacked with far too many books. I had picked up a 9th edition of 

1. *Yankee Hobo in the Orient by John Patric (9th Edition 1945)

I’m not sure why, but this book ‘woke’ me. Most of the books I’d been reading and collecting prior to this were on Sufism, Hinduism, and classics of American literature. I’d always been a big science fiction reader and also liked camping and outdoor survival books – but I would say I collected anything. I went to Asia, didn’t take the job I had lined up and wandered about China and Southeast Asia until I ran out of money. When I got back, I drove my Volkswagon Van to Florence, Oregon where John Patric had written from ‘Frying Pan Creek’ and ran out of gas and money. I got a job, rented a trailer, and set about writing my adventures. For Christmas my sister gave me 

1. *Hobo: A Young Man’s Thoughts on Trains and Tramping in America by Eddy Joe Cotton (2002 First Edition)

I liked the format and borrowed from it and Yankee Hobo to write about my life living in a VW van and tramping in Asia in 

4) *Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond by Chris Damitio (2003 First Edition spelled vegebond on the spine)

I got some nice reviews but I didn’t know anything about publishing or promotion. A writer from the Midwest who was writing on a similar topic at a similar time had a much better method. 

1. *Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long Term World Travel by Rolf Potts (2003, 1stPaperback Edition 9th printing)

I’ll admit it, I was jealous of Rolf’s success. He’d gone for more of a family friendly philosophical book while I’d been shooting for more of a drunken and debauched ramble in the style of my literary heroes Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, and Charles Bukowski. It was where I was at in life at that time. I was earning money by buying and selling used books. I came across John Buryn around this time: 

1. *Vagabonding In America by John Buryn (Hardback w/ DJ – First Edition/ First Printing 1973)
2. *Vagabonding in Europe and North Africa by John Buryn (Hb w/ dj Revised Edition 1973) 

He was the inspiration for Rolf Potts. I wish I would have come across him before I started my travels, but better late than never. Around the same time, I was living in Hawaii and discovered the poet laureate of Hawaii 

1. *Vagabond’s House by Don Blanding (1935 17th Printing, signed by the author)
2. *Stowaways in Paradise by Don Blanding (1943)

I was definitely finding a theme to collect books to. Luckily for me, it wasn’t an expensive or overly collected theme. Ebay made the search easier but searching through garage sales, thrift shops, and used book stacks was still my preferred mode. That’s where I discovered Harry Franck.

1. *Tramping Through the Andes Guatamala and Honduras: Being the Random Notes of an Incurable Vagabond by Harry A. Franck (1916)
2. *Vagabonding Down the Andes by Harry A. Franck (1917)
3. *Roaming in Hawaii with Harry A. Franck (1937 Second Printing)

1. *A Vagabond Journey Around the World by Harry A Franck (1910 – gift from my mother)
2. * A Scandinavian Summer by Harry A Franck (1930 2nd Printing)

I had always been a fan of Jack London’s work from the time I read To Build a Fire, Call of the Wild, an John Barleycorn. I was happy to bring him into my collection:

1. *From Coast to Coast with Jack London by A-No1 The Famous Tramp who Traveled 500.000 miles for $7.61 (1987 5th Edition Reprint #478/2000 – signed by Station Master Paul Harshman)
2. *The Adventures of a Female Tramp by A-No1 (1914 – Second Edition)
3. *The Ways of the Hobo by A-No1(1915 1st Edition)
4. *The Trail of the Tramp by A-No1(1913 Third Edition)
5. *Traveling with Tramps by A-No1 (1920 First Edition)
6. *The Road by Jack London (1978 Reproduction of the 1907 Edition) 
7. *Adventures of Captain David Grief by Jack London (1957 Pulp paperback)
8. *Jack London: Novels and Social Writings (1982 2nd Printing)
9. *Martin Eden by Jack London (1909 1st Edition Macmillon)
