TRAFFICKING IN OLD BOOKS
BY ANTHONY MARSHALL
Reviews
"In this delightful book, he presents us with an anatomy of his great
love affair with pre-owned print."
Janet McCalman
UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE November 1998
"This collection of articles by Anthony Marshall is a delight to read.
He is knowledgeable,amusing and writes with style and a certain flair.
For any lover of books and bookshops,this is a most entertaining read."
Aileen
READER'S FEAST, MELBOURNE March 1999
"He lives above his work, he loves his work, and can be both entertaining
and erudite about it...For bibliomaniacs and just plain book-lovers of
all descriptions."
Lucy Sussex
THE AGE Saturday 9th January 1999
"His book is a many-sided exploration of a love-affair with the pre-
loved....one of the most handsome and professional-looking books I've
seen....Like Helene Hanff's letters, Anthony Marshall's writing has
plenty of charm, but of a very different quirky kind: it lurks and
burrows in corners...Then it meanders out all over the shop, with
lots of digressions and shameless indulgences. If you want a book that
gets down to business, this isn't it. But if you love books and you
want to be beguiled, Marshall is your man."

THE SUNDAY AGE Sunday, 28th March 1999
"Gorgeous...a little treasure of a book...really amusing."
Jenny Smith
3AW Melbourne January 1999
"He combines edification and entertainment admirably....Readers are
urged to make room on their bookshelves to accommodate "Trafficking
in Old Books". With its easy wit, provocative ideas and disarming style,
it is certain to delight any bibliophile."

"This book is very put-downable. And very pick-upable too!"
The Hon. John Button
Book Launch, North Carlton 18th November 1998
"Congratulations to Anthony Marshall, not just for his particular droll
and subversive mode of bookselling that he so elegantly describes every month
- but in this instance for his astute realisation that there is more to
book design than spell-check and printout keys...
Well done that man! The cheque's in the mail."
Mike Hudson and Jadwiga Jarvis
Wayzgoose Press, Katoomba February 1999
"This comfortable book takes pleasure in all things that spread from
his daily occupation. Self-published in an attractive format, its
style stretches like a cat and is warm as a fireside."
