Back in the day, I kept lists and I’d haunt secondhand and antiquarian shops and fairs. Much easier today, if not as much fun. As for the rest, it earns a huge shrug from me. Yeah, you want what you want. But the rhetoric is over the top.

I did the same thing. When I was traveling I was able to hit a lot of used bookstores. This gave me a better chance to find the books I wanted. Then the internet came along.
