I will admit to being biased, as Kurt is a friend and my co-founder of the Book Hunters Club of Houston, but this book definitely lives up to the promise of its title and cover photo. It is a series of engaging essays and observations that will keep you turning the pages and alternating between wry chuckles and knowing nods. His poignant remembrances of some of the late, great booksellers whose paths crossed his are worth the price of admission. It may even get you fired up to finish writing your own book-related projects. It did so for me!

The reviews are in! Well at least the first one. See Rebecca Rego Barry’s excellent summary here:On the Hunt for Rare Books with Kurt Zimmerman
