Book Love, my friends, is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures. It lasts when all other pleasures fade. It will support you when all other recreations are gone. It will last you until your death. It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live.
Anthony Trollope.
All books are sold as new unless otherwise described in the Catalogue. Any book found to be imperfect or not agreeing with description may be returned and money will be refunded.

The feminine personage who occupies the principal place in this romance whose pages you are about to turn, is an antique courtesan, but be reassured, she will not convert herself.
She will be loved neither by a monk, a prophet or a God. In actual literature, this is an originality.
Rather she will be frankly a courtesan, the ardor and also the pride of every human being who has vocation and who holds in society a freely chosen place; she will have ambition to raise herself to the highest point; she will not even imagine a need for excuse or mystery in her life.
