They also offer chapters packed with information on some of the unusual collectibles they have tracked down - uncommon Americana, feminism, political catalysts, and curious books and non-books - and provide a bibliographic listing for each category. Three chapters, written in a light vein, are both cautionary and instructive. 'Public Relations' and 'Perils and Pitfalls at Home & Abroad' supply practical do's and don't's and point out hazards awaiting the unwary. 'Adventures of a Literary Sleuth' demonstrates the rewards of scholarship for anyone with serious aspirations in the antiquarian field.

'An Antiquarian Book- seller's Credo' describes the qualities, qualifications and labors they consider essential to the dealer: motivation, education, apprenticeship, specialization, patience and forebearance, perception, imagination, sleuthing, respect for the ephemeral, research, a sense of value, trade association membership, and - lastly - an unquenchable joy in the trade."
