Loved it!! Filled with tons of stories of rare or valuable or just plain fun books found by Mr. Meyer's over the course of his life as a book hunter. Highly recommend for anyone who loves books but not just the stories in them but the life of the actual book itself.
Well written, but primarily a collection of anecdotes rather than a connected narrative. That isn't necessarily a flaw, but just not my preference.
A nice collection of reminiscences of a book and magic collector; book occasionally meanders and writing quality varies (Meyer is no Jim Steinmeyer), but a nice enough read if you are interested in the topic (he won't try to motivate you).
