In one of the funniest but also most illuminating inter- views of this highly enjoyable volume— Markham’s conversation with Eric Korn, the London bookman once known for his “Remainders” column in The Times Liter- ary Supplement—we come to understand that “ill-organized” may in fact be just the self-deprecating way in which the very best booksellers describe how they lead a customer from book to seemingly unre- lated book, often based on only a single minor physical or textual detail the books have in common—“minor,” that is, except in the eye of the prospective customer.	cache/crl-15928.pdf	txt/crl-15928.txt
