About this title: This is the second installment in a series dedicated to the love of books and book collecting. Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone first wrote about their passion for books in USED AND RARE: Travels in the Book World; here they offer more adventurous tales of book hunting and purchasing. They also consider the Internet's impact on the used- and rare-book trade.

"I loved reading this book and the Goldstones' earlier book titled "Used and Rare". Both books are set in New England and focus on the Goldstones' adventures hunting for books in used and rare bookstores, learning about first editions and becoming collectors, attending book fairs and auctions, museums and libraries, etc. Every once in a while they throw in a history lesson about a book or manuscript they come across, making it a fun, easy read for anyone interested in becoming a book collector or generally interested in learning more about the world of books."
"I found this to be an enjoyable, informative read.The authors' enthusiasm for both collecting and reading is infectious (in a good way) and made for a fun ride."
"The Goldstones will make you want to collect books if you don't and pay more attention to your collection if you already do. There is pleasure in reading about people who love books as much if not more so then you do."
