具体描述
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.

评分一个悠哉闲适的周六午后，三联书店地下一层的某个角落，被《旧书与珍本》开篇夫妻俩因为生日礼物问题所引发的对话深深吸引，就顾不得脏，也顾不上凉，直接坐在地砖上津津有味地读了起来。巧的是，那天离我的生日过去也只是半个月的时间，而在半个月前，我们夫妻俩也因为礼物的...
评分记不得什么时候开始买书。买书好像是一种习惯，习惯的事情很多都说不清缘由。 先是读书，一本一本的，然后零零散散的买书，买来就是自己的了。图书馆的书店的借来的偶尔别的地方看到的翻阅的都不是自己的，遇到喜欢的就想据为已有所以就要买来。有很多买书的故事沉淀下来没时间...
