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.

评分对书籍有种天生的感情,似乎从小就知道那个我不能完全了解的世界。 从前的我以为世界上的书是看的完的,现在才知道自己阅读的书在书的海洋里只是一缕毫毛。微不足道。古代的现代的近代的,国内的国外的,中文的英文的拉丁文的各种书籍晃花了我的眼,在如此庞大的数学算式面前...
评分之前看过本社出版的《坐拥书城》,很不错,是一本非常值得购买与珍藏的书。看到此书的封面让我想起坐拥来,应该也是本很不错的书,好期待啊,一定要去买,啥时候出来?

评分在读此书之前,我觉得最有意思的笑话是: Raj: I don't like bugs, okay? They freak me out. Sheldon: Interesting. You're afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic. 现在我更喜欢安东尼.特罗洛普是维多利亚时代的作家,他白天在邮政局工作,他每天...
