Madonna tops Balzac in book sales . . . E-Bay and E-books -- Amazon and ABE -- become the alpha and the omega in the book trade . . . No urban philosopher like Walter Benjamin can offer insight into $1 books costing $17 upon delivery while $17 titles go for $4 in local used bookstores. What was priceless to our mind is now sold dirt cheap . . . the ephemera reaches skyward. . . We're in an oxymoron rabbit hole caving in upon the reading room !

Cheap Priceless Editions' - New / Used Book Review Journal Site
C. P. E. Supports Our Booksellers from Every Walk of Life . .
Booksellers! . . My stalwart champions always . . when first I read a book. Used but ample pages, bindings still solid , held firmly in my tiny hands. O, those summers when, these feet dangled from grandpapa's dock, whilst reading. Nary one whisp of worry wasted then over some battery gone dead or this viper's nest of wires lying in a tangle below me now.
