Title: A tiresome journey into the book world.
Review: A great disappointment. Relying too heavily on preachy dialogue (the phonetically spelled Australian accent is annoying beyond measure) and self-serving in its petty ax-grinding about anyone who might have offended the authors , one wonders if the manuscript ever crossed an editor's desk. The information in the book is not well-organized, and much of the writing seems stilted and awkward in attempting to explain things. While I realize the book was probably not intended as a handbook for book collectors, an organized glossary of terms could have at least claimed it a spot in the book case. There is none. A book must be useful and/or beautiful. "Used and Rare" is neither. It was a completely flat read. A trip to the library constitutes more adventurous "travels in the book world".
