Used Books

Yesterday this story caught my eye - Study: Used Books Are $2 Billion Industry . The internet has opened up a whole new world for my used book habit. I have found great deals via Amazon and am now checking out Alibris.

What fun it is to poke around in a used book store. Starting in college as an Art History major, I loved the hunt and coming up with "gems". My first true continuing search was for books illustrated by Fritz Eichenburg. His wood engraving skills astounded me when I studied him in a print-making course. I have managed to aquire a shelf full of books and a print.
