I WOULD LOVE TO OWN......?
I would love to own a copy of John James Audubons’ The Birds of America.” In 1838, at the end of the 13 year project, Audubon had produced 435 copperplate etchings which were water-colored by hand.

Inside Delta Force: The Story of America’s Elite Counterterrorist Unit by Eric Haney
The founding member of America’s elite Delta Force tells how the first Special Forces Operational Detachment-D was formed and implemented. His description of the grueling selection process is compelling, almost mesmerizing. This book inspired the television series, “The Unit” (2006-2009), which was created and produced by playwright and Pulitzer Prize winner, David Mamet.
The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires, Tim Wu
Can the internet be dominated by a monopoly or cartel? Wu shows how corporate leviathans came to dominate radio, television and film- and how history could repeat itself with consolidation of the Internet.

It is also a wonderful history of the development of enology, not only in 1970’s Napa, but around the world (South America, Australia, South Africa, etc).
