The Last Bookseller

More about the book

"A wry, unvarnished chronicle of a career in the rare book trade during its last Golden Age. In The Last Bookseller, Gary Goodman describes his sometimes desperate, sometimes hilarious career as a used and rare book dealer in Minnesota. As both a memoir and a history of booksellers and book scouts, criminals and collectors, The Last Bookseller offers an ultimately poignant account of the used and rare book business during its final Golden Age."-- Provided by publisher
