We are buying books again! But very selectively. If you have older fiction from the 1920s to the 1960s, in very good condition, clean, and in dust jacket we can take a look. As always, we need classics. Antique books have to be judged a bit differently. We can only offer credit for good books that are also a little too common. We cannot take best sellers, book club editions, topical books that are out of date, old text books, or books in less than very good condition.

With a narrator not so much unreliable as imperfect, A Republic of Books might be a first refuge for scoundrels and saints. The perfect bookshop might not exist, but then again . . . a nation of books would have to be a republic as much as a state of mind.
