The library itself is dedicated to fellow book lovers—“May our friends and future generations of our fellow countrymen find this library informative, educational and, last but not least, a collection to be proud of.”

Congratulations Michael

It is another landmark achievement of yours, apart from being a very successful businessman. I hope someday you could arrange a public exhibition of your collections. Please allow us to share your joys and satisfaction.

This is wonderful.

I've only seen some of these in the (unused sections) of the Van Pelt Library in Philadelphia. I know a lot was stolen from the Economics Institute Library.
