It is also how they eventually came to be the owners of a $650 edition of Dickens's <i>Martin Chuzzlewit.</i> <i>Used and Rare,</i> 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 <i>Adventures of Tom Sawyer</i> 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. 1831511 1997 Used and Rare: Travels in the Book World total:143|5:35|4:59|3:40|2:9|1:0| 143 549 229 27 195631 0312187688 9780312187682 128 24 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172594812m/195631.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195631.Used_and_Rare_Travels_in_the_Book_World 4 5 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Nov 15 14:34:43 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 21 13:25:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 195631 0312187688 9780312187682 128 24 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172594812m/195631.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195631.Used_and_Rare_Travels_in_the_Book_World 4 1 false Sat Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 20:15:05 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 19:33:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1831639 0312156820 9780312156824 15 3 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188944256m/1831639.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1831639.Used_And_Rare_Travels_In_The_Book_World 3 0 false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 03 15:09:55 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 15:12:12 -0800 2008 Goldstone, Lawrence and Nancy – standalone
