an indebted to a number of people who have helped and encouraged me in writing of this book; if it could have been completed without their assistance, it would have certainly b een a far le s ser work. Fir st and foremo st, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the many booksellers I have interviewed, often at length, whose “tales” form the fabric of this book.
