Bookbinder Seeks a Story Worth Binding · Box 1547

Man, 52 · Burlington, VT · Men Seeking Men · Featured notice

I repair old books for a living — family Bibles, cookbooks spattered with eighty years of gravy, love letters tied with ribbon. I have learned that people keep what matters, and that the best stories are the ones told slowly.

I am seeking a man, 45 to 60, who is gentle, funny and fond of the quiet hours. I like canoeing, wood smoke, chess played badly and dinners that last all evening. If you are tired of being judged by a photograph in half a second, write to me and let me judge you, generously, by a page.
