Ask for the oldest book in the shop
“Asking a bookseller for their oldest book feels like you should already know what you are after. It is the question they most like to be asked.”
The Recipe
- Go into the nearest secondhand or antiquarian bookshop and ask whoever is behind the counter to show you the oldest book they have.
- Hold it, find the year it was printed, and ask them one thing about where it came from.
