Used and Rare by Lawrence Goldstone

Used and Rare by Lawrence Goldstone

Journey into the world of book collecting with the Goldstones-rediscover the joy of reading, laugh, and fall in love with books all over again.

The idea that books had stories associated with them that had nothing to do with the stories inside them was new to us. We had always valued the history, the world of ideas contained between the covers of a book or, as in the case of The Night Visitor, some special personal significance. Now, for the first time, we began to appreciate that there was a history and a world of ideas embodied by the books themselves. Part travel story, part love story, and part memoir, Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone's Used and Rare provides a delightful love letter to book lovers everywhere.

Lawrence Goldstone is the author of Separate No More: The Long Road to Brown vs. Board of Education, a Junior Library Guild selection, which Kirkus called engaging and accessible in a starred review; Stolen Justice: The Struggle for African American Voting Rights, which School Library Journal declared in a starred review: A must-buy for all high school collections; and Unpunished Murder: Massacre at Colfax and the Quest for Justice, which Booklist's starred review called gripping . . . and a well-informed perspective on American history. He is also the author of more than a dozen books for adults, including four on Constitutional law. He lives in Sagaponack, New York, with his wife, medieval and Renaissance historian Nancy Goldstone.
