In the Track of the Bookworm (used books)

It seems a heckuva lot easier to find old books that are worth reading than to choose new (newly-published) books that won’t trigger buyer’s/reader’s remorse.

In the Track of the Bookworm is a book published just before the end of the 19th century. The author, one Irving Browne, dedicated it:

To book-worms all, of high or low degree,
    Whate'er of madness be their stages,
  And just as well unknown as known to me,
    I dedicate these trifling pages,
  In hope that when they turn them o'er
  They will not find the Track a bore.
