If you love books, and if you have come this far in this blog you likely do, then you might enjoy the following article by Janet Malcolm in the June 23, 2014, issue of The New Yorker. It doesn’t review books but reviews the lives and tells the everyday stories of people who buy and sell antiquarian books, and parts of the stories of some of the people from which they buy these books. Three generations of one family have been involved in this business since its founding by the patriarch in 1925, and his purchase of the current six story building in 1953.
Enjoy: The Book Refuge, Janet Malcolm, The New Yorker, June 23, 2014, Page 62
