5 stars!! This is my second time reading this…..books are kinda dated but it so accurately describes the slow descent into collecting that can happen. If you like books about books - you‘ll like this. Reminds me of 84,Charring Cross Road.

Nice memoir about the authors' (a husband and wife) novice foray into book collecting. 📖 Second reading of this book for me -- one of only a handful of books 📚 I've read more than once - the only other one that I can think of is The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Decided at the last minute to sign up for #24in48 Hoping to finish Used and Rare and start on The Immortalists. Looking forward to all the fun 😊
Diving into this book now. I've heard great things about it 😊
I enjoyed this book PURELY for its value as reference material about collecting books and new authors to seek out. If I was the type to write in my books, I'd have scribbled notes all through it. I can not wait to receive materials that I ordered based on their suggestions. Well worth the $3.99 I paid for the hardcover on eBay.
#TBRtemptation post 6! Journey into the fascinating and rather adventurous world of book-collecting with a dynamic duo of the trade. You'll learn that books have stories attached to them that have nothing to do with the story within them. There's a world history embodied by the books themselves. A travel story, love story, and memoir, you'll tag along on a highly-acclaimed, classic, unforgettable journey you crave. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
Look what I just picked up from my library.. Under The Radar Books you are an instigator, so excited to break this one open.
