When the Century Was Young

Excellent book. Very entertaining story of his life in an age of more simple pleasures and freedoms of a boy growing up; of his antics and mishaps; of his time in the US Military and his eventual career in the libraries of research. Told in such a way that will bring a mix of sadness (his father died when he was young) and much laughter in the telling. Worth reading.
