two running around here. :-)

How did you learn the book trade? by
BookFriend
I am wondering how people learned the book trade. How you learned the
authors and books, what is valuable what isn't.
What was the greatest lesson you learned.
Any funny stories?
I am learning from my experience of all the books I have read and the
research I have done so far.
