Conlon remembers feeling confused about what, exactly, Ten Speed could offer. “For the book tour, we said, ‘What’s the budget?’” he remembers. “And they were like, ‘Well, there really isn’t a budget, but don’t spend too much money.’” In the end, Conlon says Ten Speed reimbursed him for around $7,500 worth of tour-related expenses.

This is a surprisingly hard question to answer! Thinking about it has made me realize I have a number of micro-collections in my library. Having run the gamut of book careers – each providing ample opportunity for nearly unrestricted book acquisition – I have a little bit of all kinds of things. I am always excited when I find interesting editions of books I’ve done academic work on, and working at a bookstore in the literary-rich greater Boston area allowed me to grow a fairly substantial collection of signed contemporary literature. My most cohesive areas of collecting are probably works related to artists Leo and Diane Dillon and editions of Charles and Mary Lamb’s Tales From Shakespeare.

The year started with the mysterious loss of a spy satellite that was launched by SpaceX, which was cleared of any blame. But the saddest loss was the passing of famed cosmologist Stephen Hawking, who helped popularize a more complex and nuanced understanding of our universe while also warning of the perils of artificial intelligence and potential interactions with alien civilizations.
