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.
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.

評分 評分不太会写评论,估计是微博玩多了的缘故,长一点的文字已经不像过去那么好了。 就像书封面上小标题写的那样,这是戈德斯通夫妇“旧书与珍本”书店漫游记,书里记述了他们俩逛书店的经历。与其说是漫游记,我更喜欢用“冒险之旅”这个词来形容他们俩逛书店的经历,期间充满着惊...
評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...
