Salinger, and Dorothy Parker all find their way onto Larrys shortlist, standing along previously acquired greats Trollope, Dickens, Thackeray, and Hardy.Being sensible, he approaches the biggest names in the rare book field with childish glee, and with refreshing brashness, finds himself handling copies of authors most coveted titles, touring the New Yorker offices, and then involved in one of the biggest scandals book collecting has ever seen. Will the thrill of the chase overwhelm Larrys ability to see reason? Will his appetite outpace his resources? Join him on this journey as he discovers just how far hes willing to take his obsession.
