Andrew McKinley 

I would like to nominate this gentleman for Saint Hood. Should I contact the Vatican or just the Pope?

Andrew was born on the East Coast, and grew up in Berkeley and San Francisco. Now a native Californian of 40 years, he spends his days hunting for rare used books to sell at Adobe Bookshop. His used book store has been in the Mission District of San Francisco, on 16th street in between Guerrero and Valencia since 1988. He Loves history, whether its local, natural, ancient or world. Andrew takes many portraits of friends who spend time at Adobe. He prints two; one to be displayed in store on a postcard rack with a sign that reads, “Not for sale” and another to be given to the friend he photographed. Andrew is a collector of many items;however, he sticks mostly to archaic foreign coins, and antique belt buckles made of precious metals. He is a great companion for garage sailing, & often says to me, “I’m probably what you would call a hoarder, but with a little bit of taste.”
