Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone are both successful novelists. Lawrence Goldstone having won a New American Writing Award for his first novel. The Goldstones live in Westport, Connecticut.
After years of competitive extravagance at birthday time, Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone decided to limit themselves to $20 each, which is how they came to be in possession of a $10 definitive translation of War and Peace, complete with maps of the major battles and fold-out color illustrations. It is also how they eventually came to be the owners of a $650 edition of Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit. Used and Rare, the Goldstones' tale of the journey from point A to point B, is a joyful celebration of their love of books. Rare-book dealers are a quirky lot; while one might invite you to caress an Adventures of Tom Sawyer worth thousands, another might turn you away altogether for no apparent reason. The Goldstones' enthusiasm is infectious, and, besides offering a lesson in used-book parlance, the pair remind us that for every book there are at least two stories: the one between the covers, and the one beyond the covers.

评分 评分“宋版书每页就以三钱算,五十页一册,四册一套的书,就要卖六十两纹银了。当时江南的米价,一石还在一二两纹银之间,四册宋版书,就是四五十石米的价格了。” 这是学者邓云乡对清末琉璃厂书价的调查,可见出百年前书籍中的珍本即已价格不菲,更不要说如今。在这点上,中西...
