Gavin’s personal library
Gavin’s library of books and hand-written or typed “projects” (lists, directions, and autobiographical documentation) are updated and discarded/recycled by him weekly, monthly, or yearly, whenever the information contained within expires and/or the publishers issue a new edition. He has been filling up a spiral notebook with written projects on the average of one a month.
