[Books on Books] Collins, Paul.

Sixpence House. Lost in a Town of Books.

New York: Bloomsbury, 2003. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Paul Collins and his family abandoned the hills of San Francisco to move to the Welsh countryside-to move, in fact, to the village of Hay-on-Wye, the "Town of Books" that boasts fifteen hundred inhabitants-and forty bookstores. Taking readers into a secluded sanctuary for book lovers, and guiding us through the creation of the author's own first book, Sixpence House becomes a heartfelt and often hilarious meditation on what books mean to us.
