Maximalist goes to the used book store

Actually it's a favorite place. A bookstore devoid of calendars, coffee, music and crowds. In fact I think it bans beverages and ou must hold the kiddies by the hand.
It's cheaper and has an interesting selection.

I bought a 1929 copy of Alexander Kuprin's Yama, the Russian realist's work on prostitution.

A 1959 copy of Alice B Toklas Aromas and Flavours. The Maximalist loves to cook and I am eager to try her Perfumed Goose.

A 1941 copy of Robert Nathan's The Darkening Meadows as I did not have one.
