Key fact
At the age of eleven he bought his first book at a second-hand bookshop — Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer. From that moment, book-collecting became his vocation, leading him to amass a collection of over 11,000 volumes, documents and graphic archive of incalculable value to Valencian history.
