On buying books . . .

  Navigate to the link below to read a wonderful essay about buying books by LATimes book critic David L. Ulin.

"Here we have what books and reading bestow: that affirmation, that port of entry, the glorious pleasure of seeing the world open, even if it's not always a world we understand."

"There is no greater gift, no better bridge between us, no other territory in which we enter the imagination of another and discover (miracle of miracles) ourselves."
