"There's a hunger about book people, about anyone who gets involved with old books. To follow a path so peculiar, with so few opportunities, and with no real prospect for wealth or prestige, I think you have to have a fickle relationship with rationality."

This looks wonderful. Is this one of your clients? Or a book you happily stumbled upon? I, too, love old books. Which is why I got expelled from the library at Christchurch, Oxford as a youngling.
One must first acquire a relationship with rationality before one's relationship can become fickle.
Rare books AND a punny title. Who could ask for more? Right up my alley and then some!
A memoir due for release in late Jan in Australia (I was intrigued enough to google). Sounds fascinating and has been added to my watchlist with Booktopia (our local online bookstore).
*wishlist - I really should proofread, lol
