"SACRAMENTO - A bibliophile is someone who likes books. Michael Harrison was a bibliomaniac."
"And because he lived to be 107, his obsession with books grew to legendary proportions, known to collectors and scholars throughout the world."
"On Friday, nearly a year after Harrison's death, UC Davis made public a 21,000-volume collection bequeathed to the campus library by the peculiar man with only a high school education. The collection, focusing on Western Americana, is massive, stunning and worth millions."
