Review of 'Used and rare' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I enjoyed this book very much. I liked how throughout the book I definitely got a sense of "we/us" and not "Lawrence and Nancy." They were like one unit. I think this is a great "past time" for a couple and I find their passion for it to be quite charming. Relationship goals.

This definitely opened my eyes up to the book collecting world. I don't know if my city is cultured enough for me to find book stores like these or maybe I've just been blind to them all.

I myself don't think I would participate in this expensive hobby but it was nice to entertain the idea and experience is second hand.


First: We came to book collecting because our birthdays fall eight days apart.
Last: Still, there was that fabulous Ashenden at Pepper and Stern with that amazing dust jacket...
