Book Description
This new reference work lists geographically some 3000 U.S. book dealers of antiquarian, specialty, and used books, providing address, telephone and FAX numbers, hours, stock size, and specialties. It also indicates whether the shop issues catalogs or undertakes special services such as appraisals and searches. Indexes allow access by subject, store name, and owner/manager. The volume invites comparison with R.R. Bowker's "American Book Trade Directory (ABTD)", now in its 38th edition, which lists bookstores dealing in both secondhand and new books and covers Canada as well as the United States. "ABTD" lists 3,483 used and antiquarian dealers among its nearly 31,000 entries. Both works have gaps, and "ABTD" doesn't note hours. Though, booksellers, collectors, special collections, and rare book rooms are likely to prefer the volume under review, especially because it costs so much less, general collections already possessing "ABTD" can probably pass on this new title.

Book Description
David L. ONeal looks back at a lifetime filled with adventures, beginning with his childhood, to his time at Princeton University, in the Marine Corps, and his career as a rare book dealer. Born in Miami in 1938, his family settled in Long Island, New York, where he met his best friend at seven years old. For the next several years, they played war games in the woods, impersonated Robin Hood and his Merry Men, and enjoyed being kids. But ONeal had a difficult relationship with his fathera distant man who he blames for his lifelong stutter. For years, he had trouble dealing with authority figures or anyone who was tall, brooding, and forebodingand he also battled bipolar disorder. ONeal went on to become a student at Princeton University, where he enjoyed a prolonged drinking session with Ernest Hemingway in 1959. Then it was on to joining the Marine Corpsmainly because he didnt know what else to do. He found his calling as a rare book dealer, helping the FBI catch thieves and making wonderful finds along the way, such as the time he bought a rare printing of the U.S. Constitution for $75 that sold for $75,000.
