Synopsis:
Journey into the world of book collecting with the Goldstones--you will rediscover the joy of reading, you will laugh, and you will fall in love with books all over again. This warm and witty story is filled with eccentric characters--from snobby bookdealers to bearded backwoodsmen who just happen to have a fortune in rare books stowed in their barns. Part travel novel, part love story, part memoir, "Used and Rare" will appeal to anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of books.
Review:
"Rarest of all, Goldstone can write. Her sentences are clean, flowing, intelligent, even arch. This Goldstone woman has a talent that you cannot buy."
Los Angeles Times Book Review
Review:"[A] sprightly paced travelogue....A sort of 'Year in Provence' for book lovers: an entertaining armchair introduction to an esoteric but captivating subject."
Kirkus, 03/15/1997
