Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books
Author: Paul Collins
Desc: Paul Collins and his family abandoned the hills of San Francisco to move to the Welsh countryside—to move in fact to the village of Hay-on-Wye the "Town of Books" that boasts fifteen hundred inhabitants—and forty bookstores. Taking readers into a secluded sanctuary for book lovers and guiding us through the creation of the author's own first book Sixpence House becomes a heartfelt and often hilarious meditation on what books mean to us.
