Who would publish and print a book inside a black and unfathomably featureless cover? This is but one curiosity of thousands in the piles of books donated to a library’s annual book sale. And another, a delicious telling of the undercover life of a NY Times food critic. And yet another, about Indians who lived right where we are standing. From a miniature guide to Grace which snuggles well in a purse — to a monograph on nasty people and how to stop being hurt by them — to books heavy with gorgeous art images. As book sales go, they are not only an offering bibliophiles must love, they are a trip through the halls of life and its many mysteries, drama, history, fascinations and machinations, both real and imagined, and all of it captured in ink on paper.
