IN A FEW MINUTES I'M GOING TO READ FROM "THE MAN WHO LOVED BOOKS TOO MUCH" BUT FIRST I THOUGHT I WOULD... |
| 00:12:27 |
|
THAT'S WHEN I REALLY GOT NERVOUS. SO I WENT TO ANY QUESTION AS LONG AS THEY ARE -- THIS IS A NOVEL.... |
| 00:12:58 |
|
SO WHERE IS GILKEY TODAY, AND HOW DOES HE SUPPORT HIMSELF WHEN HE'S NOT IN PRISON SO THAT HE CAN FEED... |
| 00:13:08 |
|
GOOD QUESTIONS. HE IS IN SAN FRANCISCO NOW AS FAR AS I KNOW. WHENEVER PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME THIS QUESTION,... |
| 00:14:15 |
|
I HAVE A QUESTION. HAD ALL THESE RARE BOOKSELLERS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THESE LAST TWO YEARS... |
| 00:14:29 |
|
I'M NOT SURE. I THINK THEY HAVE MIXED FEELINGS FEELINGS. THOSE WHO WERE VICTIMS ARE STILL VERY ANGRY.... |
| 00:15:30 |
|
THE QUESTION IS DOES HE GIVE THE BOOKS BACK WHEN HE GETS CAUGHT. ONLY IF HE HAS TO I SUPPOSE. HE... |
| 00:17:11 |
|
CASE CLOSED. IT IS VERY, VERY COMMON. , RARE BOOK DEALERS, IT IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN THAT BOOK COLLECTORS... |
| 00:18:31 |
|
OKAY. [INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:18:38 |
|
OKAY. THE QUESTION IS ABOUT I THINK HOW YOU'D EVEN QUANTIFY WHETHER A BOOK IS RARE OR NOT, AND WHY... |
| 00:19:34 |
|
BUT AS FAR AS WHAT MAKES A BOOK RARE, YOU KNOW, I FOUND, I ASKED THAT QUESTION A LOT AND I FOUND AS... |
| 00:21:41 |
|
I HAVE A PAIR OF QUESTIONS. ONE IS HE MUST HAVE SOME RATIONALIZATION WHERE THIS IS NOT A SIN, THIS... |
| 00:22:07 |
|
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER BOTH OF THOSE. HE DOES JUSTIFY IT IN MANY WAYS, BUT ESSENTIALLY HE SEES... |
| 00:22:25 |
|
I DID WALK AROUND AFTER HER THAT FOR A FEW DAYS AND THOUGHT HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO JUST THINK THAT.... |
| 00:22:56 |
|
AND HE WOULD HARVEST RECEDES, FIVE TO 10 A WEEK AT ONE POINT. AND ALSO PEOPLE, THAT WAS WHEN THIS... |
| 00:23:49 |
|
I AM CURIOUS IF YOU EVER FELT THE DESIRE TO START COLLECTING BOOKS WHILE YOU ARE WRITING TO STORE... |
| 00:23:58 |
|
WELL, I THOUGHT THE COLLECTING BUG WOULD HIT ME WHILE I WAS WORKING ON BECAUSE I ALREADY LOVED OLD... |
| 00:24:53 |
|
I'M INTERESTED IN YOUR PROCESSES AS A WRITER. YOU SAID THAT THIS WAS REALLY A NEW AREA FOR YOU AND... |
| 00:25:23 |
|
OKAY. I HADN'T DONE A BOOK BEFORE AND I HADN'T EVEN DONE THIS TYPE OF PROJECT, BUT I HAD INTERVIEWED... |
| 00:27:56 |
|
CAN YOU GO UP TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? |
| 00:28:02 |
|
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GILKEY, WHAT THE NATURE OF IT WAS, AND WHAT THE... |
| 00:28:16 |
|
SURE. YOU KNOW, HE WAS ALSO VERY EASY TO SPEAK WITH. I THINK, WHEN I FIRST MET WITH HIM IN PRISON,... |
| 00:30:11 |
|
DID YOU EVER FIND OUT, DOES HE STILL OTHER THINGS? DID HE EVER TALK ABOUT THAT? |
| 00:30:18 |
|
HE DID. YEAH, HE -- YOU KNOW, MOST COLLECTORS, I READ ABOUT COLLECTING, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLLECTING.... |
| 00:31:04 |
|
HOW OLD WAS HE WHEN HE SOLD HIS FIRST BOOK WAX AND WEAR AND WAS IT AND WHAT WAS IT? |
| 00:31:12 |
|
HE WENT TO HIS BOOK FAIR -- FIRST BOOK FAIR, RARE BOOK FAIR IN 1997. SO HE WAS 29. IS THAT RIGHT?... |
| 00:32:02 |
|
YES, I KNOW SOME MORALS. |
| 00:32:04 |
|
DID YOU EVER HAVE TREPIDATION AND THAT CONTINUING? DID YOU GET NERVOUS WHEN YOU WOULD SPEND TIME WITH... |
| 00:32:25 |
|
I DID GET NERVOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ABOUT, AFTER WE HAD BEEN MEETING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, HE STARTED... |
| 00:33:46 |
|
AND I SAID I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. SO WE DO AS JOURNALISTS, WE DO AFFECT THE ACTIONS... |
| 00:34:07 |
|
I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT THE CYCLE OF GOING TO PRISON AND BEING RELEASED, AND GENERALLY WE THINK... |
| 00:34:41 |
|
I THINK IT IS IN THE SPIRIT HE DID SAY MANY TIMES I'M NOT GOING TO COLLECT ANYMORE. BUT DID I TELL... |
| 00:35:27 |
|
YEAH, I'M NOT SURE. AT ONE POINT HE SAID THAT IT WASN'T THREE STRIKES, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER TERM,... |
| 00:36:04 |
|
THE DETECTIVE, KEN SANDERS, IS A BIG PART OF THE BOOK. YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST CALLED HIM, I STARTED... |
| 00:38:20 |
|
I DON'T REALLY KNOW ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND AS A WRITER SO I AM CURIOUS ABOUT HOW YOU STARTED OUT AND... |
| 00:38:46 |
|
IT WAS A SECOND CAREER FOR ME BUT I DID A LOT OF THINGS BEFORE THAT, BUT WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG,... |
| 00:40:11 |
|
THIS ISN'T EXACTLY ABOUT THE BOOK, BUT FROM THE INTRO, DID YOU EVER FIND OUT WHERE M COMES VOLUME CAME... |
| 00:41:05 |
|
WHERE IS THE BOOK NOW? |
| 00:41:09 |
|
THE BOOK IS DUE WITH MALCOM. HE IS TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT. IS A BOOK THAT REALLY CAST... |
| 00:41:29 |
|
DID YOU EVER SEE WHERE HE |
| 00:41:31 |
|
JOHN COFFEE? NO. |
| 00:41:34 |
|
I'M JUST CURIOUS, IF HIS HOUSE REFLECTED HIS VISION OF WHAT HE WANTED TO BECOME. YOU ARE SORT OF BUILDING... |
| 00:41:48 |
|
I DID LIVE IN HIS CHILD HOME WHERE HE LIVED AS A CHILD. OUT IN MODESTO. AND INTERVIEWED HIS MOTHER... |
| 00:43:18 |
|
THROUGHOUT YOUR RESEARCH DID YOU EVER INTERVIEW OR FEEL COMPELLED TO INTERVIEW THE PRISON SYSTEM ABOUT... |
| 00:43:26 |
|
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. NO, I DIDN'T. I THINK HE WAS PROBABLY THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES. YOU KNOW,... |
| 00:44:34 |
|
HOW HAS HE RESPONDED TO THE BOOK HAS HE READ AT? |
| 00:44:38 |
|
HE HAS NOT. HE IS EAGER TO SEE IT. I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO MAIL HIM A COPY, BUT HE SAID HE DIDN'T ... |
| 00:45:10 |
|
HELLO, JOHN. NO. HE MAY. I DON'T KNOW. [INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:45:19 |
|
