Re: Best Memoirs of Book Collectors/Dealers?



Last summer I read, in succecssion and with great satisfaction, three books already mentioned: Randall's *Dukedom Large Enough*, Donald Dickinson's life of John Carter, and Percy Muir's *Minding My Own Business*--a kind of Biblioboys trilogy.



Let me recommend two lesser known books: David Meyer has published two highly entertaining book-collecting memoirs, *Memoirs of a Book Snake: Forty Years of Seeking and Saving Old Books* (Waltham Street Press, 2001) and *Inclined Toward Magic: Encounters with Books, Collectors and Conjurors* (Waltham Street Press, 2003).
