I got this antiquarian #book from #ShakespeareandCo earlier. It’s an 1824 proving it a book that teaches some English and French. My oldest book was printed in 1730. I’ve been on the prowl for a pre-1753 printing of Abbé Prévost’s Manon Lescaut, but no such luck. I love old #books.

#ShakespeareAndCo is always a lovely visit. I got these #books today, including and antiquarian #book. Can’t believe it took so long for me to go this time.

God, I love being alone.

Thought-provoking evening at #ShakespeareAndCo the other night, to hear #VietThanhNguyen discuss #AManOfTwoFaces .
