Warmly inscribed:
The New England forager and other book tales;
by Lawrence and Nancy Gold stone,
Perfect bed time reader for all. Written by a husband and wife team. Both books collecting enthusiasts. This is a charming account of a personal tour of the Library of congress, where you will find more than 115 million volumes to be read. Like wise: the Folger library and the Beinecke, which is the Yale University's Rare Book and manuscripts library.
They recount the tale of the New England forger and discover just how valuable certain antiquated titles can be, such as $250 for a 1974 wall calendar, on which Michael Ondaatje used it for his family's routine appointments.
