immediately discovered that...

So what's the deal on bookplates? by
Al Smith
From time to time I've toyed with the idea of designing and
printing up a bunch of bookplates, and gluing them into all my
hardcovers. Two things stop me. One, it would be a considerable
labor and expense. Two, I don't want to decrease the value of my

Yesterday I happened across the newly published (in the US) _The Shadow of

it was a bestseller in Spain and throughout Europe, and it has gotten the
inevitable comparisons to _The Name of the Rose_ and _The Club...

No, not THAT first.
Your first experience in a used or antiquarian bookshop.
What was it that turned a casual or even
accidental visit into an interest, passion

The owner? A customer? A fortuitous
find? The smell of dust and old leather?
