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.

評分對書籍有種天生的感情,似乎從小就知道那個我不能完全瞭解的世界。 從前的我以為世界上的書是看的完的,現在纔知道自己閱讀的書在書的海洋裏隻是一縷毫毛。微不足道。古代的現代的近代的,國內的國外的,中文的英文的拉丁文的各種書籍晃花瞭我的眼,在如此龐大的數學算式麵前...
評分在讀此書之前,我覺得最有意思的笑話是: 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. 現在我更喜歡安東尼.特羅洛普是維多利亞時代的作傢,他白天在郵政局工作,他每天...
