Wooden crates house the library of William Anthony Parker White — better known by the penname Anthony Boucher to the mystery-reading world — in the upstairs office area of his longtime Berkeley home.
D. S. Black of the Bancroft Library just popped me the news that the Boucher house is going on the block, tagged at over a million. Hop over to the listing for more photos old and new, some home history — and word that they plan to place a plaque on the house to denote its historic literary status.
I cover the residence in my Literary World of San Francisco. And now I’m making a note against any future edition to check to see if they have installed a plaque.
If so, mention plaque.
