Truly amazing. Can‘t believe it was published almost half a century ago.

Annual book fair at Sydney Uni. A must-go event.

The best thing about booksellers' memoirs are their 'find' stories. The thought that treasures are still out there to be found- and bookmen n so many different ways- is sure to raise the pulse of any dedicated booklover.

The world is full of wonderful stories, heartbreakingly beautiful and witty poems, thrilling works of history, biography, and philosophy. They will make you laugh, or hug yourself with pleasure, or deepen your thinking, or move you as profoundly as any experience this side of a serious love affair.

We don't read for high-minded reasons. We read for aesthetic, emotional, and intellectual excitement.

The earth is made of the dust of creatures who lived before. We walk carelessly upon the dead, the world a rounded grave. - it's pretty grave feelings.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on...

Back from a holiday and unpack.

The book for someone who wants to clear up his/her mind and move on with the good company of books.

What an absorbing book!

Want to know more about the writer. Quite fascinating.

Perfect gift for my boy and prays he'd be attracted away from his laptop and iPad.

Finished the Chinese version of this book. Quite interesting, though the translation didn't properly reflect the particular sense of humour in the book.

Extremely interesting to read. A must read for book lovers.
