Here at Lemuria we love books. We love everything about them, their look, feel, and smell; we love reading books more than collecting, most of the time. When you come into our shop, as I’m sure you’ve found out first hand, you never know what kind of treasures you’re going to find. We feel the same. Everyday at work it’s like mining for gold, but unlike sifting around in a creek hoping to find a scrap of wealth, treasure hunting at Lemuria is like panning through jewels for jewels. But sometimes you find something just really incredible.
David Foster Wallace anyone? Digging around one of our catacombs the other day we unearthed 4 ARCs of Girl With Curious Hair. [An ARC {advanced reader’s copy} is what publishers send to booksellers etc. prior to its publication.] Girl With Curious Hair, published in 1989, was DFW’s first collection of short stories. It’s really weird thinking of these books sitting in storage, unknown to anyone, for so many years. But how wonderful to have found them after all this time!
They are of course for sale to those lucky enough to get here first. Happy hunting y’all!
