Tom Whitmore
TOM WHITMORE has been a bookseller for over thirty years and a partner in a
bookstore for twenty-nine; The Other Change of Hobbit in Berkeley, California.
He's been a co-chair at a Worldcon (ConJosé in 2002), and implemented the
first example of Elevator Party Hosts. He's been a reviewer for LOCUS, and
once made Gene Wolfe jealous by telling him how much writing reviews for computer
magazines paid. He's a massage therapist and a student of Hakomi. He was on the
founding board of the Cohousing Association in the US, and lived for several years
in Puget Ridge Cohousing. He collected art at cons before discovering that his
grandmother had been a print dealer for most of her life. And he lived in the DC
area twice -- once while working in a clerical job at the Library of Congress in
the period of Nixon's impeachement, and once while working for the Office of Energy
Information Validation in the Department of Energy. For stories of his connection
with Aleister Crowley and his peculiar ability to find books, you'll have to ask in person.
