The author collects books. He collects books that contain bookmarks in the form of maps – he will read the book while walking the streets depicted on the map, provided he doesn't have to get on a plane to get there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe collects books given as Christmas presents. He collects books that have the same title as other books – he'll read both books and compare them. He might wonder – he might even ask – which one has the greater claim on the title.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe collects books that he finds with business cards in them – instead of reading the book, he sends it to the individual named on the business card and asks them to read it instead. He collects ex-library books. He collects free books.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWell, he looks at the books that people leave out on their garden wall in the rain and photographs then and mostly leaves them where they are.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BForButterflyBooks","offers":[{"title":"Ticket Only","offer_id":46305724825771,"sku":"9781784633417","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ticket and Book","offer_id":47215201747115,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signed Copy For Collection After Event","offer_id":47215202205867,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/0477\/5595\/files\/FindersKeepers.jpg?v=1773332965","url":"https:\/\/bforbutterflybooks.com\/products\/author-event-nicholas-royle-finders-keepers-the-secret-life-of-second-hand-books","provider":"BForButterflyBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
