Just order an interesting book some of you might also find interesting. Used and Rare: Travels in the Book World. Lawrence Goldstone and Nancy Goldstone.
The book description is:
"When Nancy tracked down a ten-dollar copy of War and Peace in order to win a birthday bet with Larry, the Goldstones' love affair with old books began.
Over the next three years they haunted every used and rare bookshop between New York and Boston that they could find, from dingy, dust-filled barns to elegant Park Avenue galleries. Starting small on cheap, out-of-print used books, their addiction soon graduated to first editions and, finally, to three-quarter morocco, custom-bound antiquarian classics that they could not afford. Along the way, they gained an education in books - and in people - that we can all savor.
This warm and witty story is filled with eccentric characters, from a punk book dealer peddling fifty-thousand-dollar modern firsts to a golf-obsessed Shakespearean scholar with books on demonic possession in his basement. Part travel story, part love story, and part memoir, Used and Rare is an absorbing and delightful journey and a love letter to book lovers everywhere."

A very good book and read, to be sure.

A good book, but even better are the many books by Leona Rostenberg and Madeline B. Stern about their years together collecting and selling books. One I particularly enjoy is Connections: Our Selves Our Books, in which they discuss books that had special meaning for them.

I've read their books too and enjoyed them very much!
