Resumen:
A Pound of Paper.A pound of paper - the weight, more or less, of a book - is the peg on which book collector extraordinaire John Baxter hangs each charming episode of this utterly engaging memoir. In one brilliantly readable and funny scene after another, readers come in contact with such literary greats as Graham Greene, Kingsley Amis, and Ray Bradbury. Along the way we also discover how a boy from the Australian bush came to live in a Paris penthouse with a library worth millions. |
