Andrew Novick saves everything...


Andrew Novick is both a horologist and an omniphilist. He has a collection of collections. Is collecting collections louder than just collecting a single type of thing? You should hear his CD of his phone conversations with telephone solicitiors! Is a collector of noise a sonituphilist?


Andrew is also a nemophilist.


Would a collector of cakes be a crustumphilist?


Could a collector of trays be called a patellaphilist?


Would a collector of chaos be called a nusquamphilist? I used to think of myself as a psammologist because I enjoy counting bits of sand.


Lately I’ve also become something of a transportophilist.

wow. Mr. Noivk seems like an interesting guy. i always say i'm an archivist. though a few weeks ago i found a photo of a penis on my street, and i carried it around all day. this fat bartender said i was 'creep & a pervert'. I said i was a rock star. I sent the photo to Mykel Board.
