This is a book with a difference which will be enjoyed by anyone who
loves old books and old bookshops.
In a series of lively, witty and sometimes provocative chapters, Melbourne
bookseller Anthony Marshall explores the little-known world of secondhand
bookselling and the fascinating books and creatures which inhabit it.
"In this delightful book, he presents us with an anatomy of his great
love affair with pre-owned print." Janet McCalman, University of Melbourne
This is an exciting debut for a writer who communicates his passion for
books and book people and for his job of bringing the two together "in
a small bookshop of modest aspirations".
