Title: Useful Book But Feels Sadly Dated
Review: Book Finds provides an entertaining and informative look into the world of finding and selling used books. Ellis is a fine and engaging writer, and I really enjoyed his attitude and respect for books. Alas, his book feels dated, mainly because the Internet and the recent recession forced the closing of so many used bookstores in my neck of the woods. The idea of making the rounds of used book stores, patiently looking for diamonds in the rough to trade up between storekeepers who specialize in one genre or another seems so romantic that it's from another age, one long ago. Still, I appreciated his discussion on what to look for in an old book (hint: condition, condition, condition) and how to care for old books. Those sections alone make Book Finds worth buying. For more in-depth book reviews I've done, search for goldenrulecomics on Squidoo.
