We are remodeling our 33 year old bookstore. We replaced our Air
Conditioner and Furnace with a high efficiency model. We replaced
our acoustical tile ceiling. We replaced our driveway. We will
replace our front windows and door. We are upgrading our fluorescent and
incandescent lighting, and electrical system. Our bookstore is brighter and more comfortable than ever before.
It will just keep getting better.

Narrated by Renoir and seven of the models, the novel illuminates the gusto, hedonism, and art of the era.

Books: A Memoir
by
McMurtry, Larry
Larry McMurtry's memoir of his life in books--buying selling, bidding, stroking and lusting after--is full of characters and delights that may never been seen by the "average" bookseller, but, what many of us wouldn't give for a chance! The innumerable details of ephemera, books and rarities offer lessons for anyone into the world of antiquitarian, used and truly rarifed items on the printed page. Mr McMurtry is generous with specifics and musings, personal history, whimsy and speculations. Thank you. And thanks to Mr. McMurtry for sharing.--Becky Milner, Vintage Books (Vancouver, WA) |
