Book 3 in the ongoing memoir adventures of Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone. This time they travel to many book fairs, learn about the New England Forger, delve into the world of internet book selling, and eat at a bunch of good places.

I really enjoy these books, they not only provide a ton of information on book collecting, and dealing with first editions, but also provide descriptions and titles for many books I would love to read. I will have to admit that as the book series progresses it almost seems as if they are begining to take on an elitist view on book collecting but this could just be me. (

One of the three fine Goldstone memoirs. I recommend each of them.
