Description: Dust jacket reads: More than a Sequel, Slightyl Chipped: Footnotes in Booklore is a companion piece for Used and Rare. Slightly Chipped details the warm and witty story of Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone's further explorations into the curious world of books. In Slightly Chipped, the Goldstones get hooked on the writings, correspondence, and couplings of the Bloomsbury group; they track down Bram Stoker's earliest notes for Dracula; they set their sights on a single lot of 128 leather-bound books at Sotheby's auction of the Paris home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor; they try out book collecting on the Internet; and they are introduced to hypermoderns. Slightly Chipped is filled with anecdotes, esoterica, and fun facts about the world of book collecting like the ones that so charmed readers of Used and Rare. Tile Goldstones have discovered new places to buy rare tomes and new eccentric personalities along the way, all presented in a style that Kirkw Reviews has called "evocative, compassionate, and frequently hilarious." --------- This book is in NEAR FINE condition with a very small amount of adhesive glue at the top corner of page edges.
