You'd think a book about antiquarian bookselling wouldn't be loaded with suspense or keep us laughing, or make us shake our heads in wonder at the adventures of its 87-year-old and 84-year-old authors. But Old Books, Rare Friends does that and more as longtime partners Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern introduce us to their quite unusual love affair with books and each other. Thanks to their gift for opening up this world, we never want to leave it. - Back cover.
