Over the next three years they haunted every used and rare bookshop between New York and Boston that they could find, from dingy, dust-filled barns to elegant Park Avenue galleries. Starting small on cheap, out-of-print used books, their addiction soon graduated to first editions and, finally, to three-quarter morocco, custom-bound antiquarian classics that they could not afford. Along the way, they gained an education in books - and in people - that we can all savor. This warm and witty story is filled with eccentric characters, from a punk book dealer peddling fifty-thousand-dollar modern firsts to a golf-obsessed Shakespearean scholar with books on demonic possession in his basement. Part travel story, part love story, and part memoir, Used and Rare is an absorbing and delightful journey and a love letter to book lovers everywhere. 600 10 $a Goldstone, Lawrence, $d 1947- 600 10 $a Goldstone, Nancy Bazelon. 650 0 $a Book collecting $z New England. 650 0 $a Book collecting $z Middle Atlantic States. 600 17 $a Goldstone, Lawrence, $d 1947- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00208888 600 17 $a Goldstone, Nancy Bazelon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00202754 650 7 $a Book collecting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836132 651 7 $a Middle Atlantic States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240044 651 7 $a New England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241913 650 17 $a Bibliofilie. $2 gtt 700 1 $a Goldstone, Nancy Bazelon, $e author. 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1107/96030081-s.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol055/96030081.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/hol055/96030081.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210527085016.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32CEA60EAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
