My favourite part of being a dealer in second hand books?
The Hunt.
I love trawling through markets, book shops, online and about everywhere I go hunting for hard to find, old, or just plain popular books.
It is my nirvana, I get to spend hours looking at books, reading blurbs, hunting through dusty shelves, to squeal with delight when I find a long out of print book that is worth a pretty penny. Though to be honest, I also squeal when I find a nice stack of Amanda Quicks all in the one place.
I am an equal opportunity book squealer.
While there has been several times I have been tempted to give the books up, mainly for external reasons, I just can not give up the hunt.
I just had a vision of myself clutching a book to my chest and bolting to the counter to pay for it, because you know, if I might lose it on the way to paying for it LOL.
