If you haven't read it, "John Carter: the Taste & Technique of a
Bookman" by Donald C. Dickinson needs to be on your reading list. I'm
currently reading "Haryard Yard" a novel about an undiscovered
Shakespeare play hidden somewhere at Harvard University. The main
character is an antiquarian bookseller. I recommend that as well.
