If you want a good story of people addicted to books, try reading "The Club Dumas" by Arturo Perez-Reverte. A great murder mystery all about rare books!Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901628974325954428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-26525759344930424982010-10-27T14:05:36.727-04:002010-10-27T14:05:36.727-04:00Susan, Judging by the prices, looking will be quit...Susan, Judging by the prices, looking will be quite all that I can afford!<br /><br />Jane, Isn't it! There is another Woolf as well with a woodcut cover by Vanessa, and I don't think anywhere near as expensive.<br /><br />Stacy, If I come across the Folio then I'll be sure to ask about the cost. I've never seen one 'in the flesh' so will definitely be seeking it out!<br /><br />verity, You're most likely surrounded by gorgeous antiquarian goodies at work aren't you!<br /><br />Kristina, Oh I love it when the word verification is somehow relative to the post!<br /><br />Paperback Reader, This will definitely be more like a museum adventure than a buying one! And, as my branch manager reminded me, you really should have a proper humidity-controlled room for storing these treasures. I have a lot going against me!<br /><br />bookssnob, That's hilarious, although I don't think the book seller thought so! I didn't know Quintos had a bargain basement....(small fantasy taking place at the moment).Darlenehttp://www.rosesoveracottagedoor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-16708733537731111802010-10-27T12:03:53.823-04:002010-10-27T12:03:53.823-04:00What a lovely selection of books!

I remember going to a book fair in London once and I didn't realise it was proper antiquarian books - I picked up a book and the man came running over and said 'don't touch them!' and then explained it was 1000 pounds or something ridiculous. I made a swift exit! The Bargain Basement of Quintos on Charing Cross Road is where I belong. I know my place!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-58777526201829855782010-10-27T08:36:18.106-04:002010-10-27T08:36:18.106-04:00Rare books are a joy just to view, let alone own. ...Rare books are a joy just to view, let alone own.
