Chapter 814 Half a Book(2/2)

This is a habit of Yu Dong. Every time he goes to a place, he has to check out the local bookstores, because he believes that the temperament of a place can be seen from the bookstores of the place.

The name of this bookstore is "Dongzhong Bookstore". The name means that this bookstore should have been opened relatively early.

The bookstores that open at the school entrance are of course mostly filled with various teaching materials and stationery supplies. The front half of the Dongzhong Bookstore is full of these, while the back is mostly filled with literary works.

The boss is an old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a pair of reading glasses, sitting behind the cashier and reading a book.

When someone comes into the store, the boss doesn't even raise his head and is still reading.

Perhaps because Yu Dong funded Donghu Middle School, there was a shelf in the bookstore full of Yu Dong's books. Yu Dong probably glanced at it and found that except for some rare editions, all versions of his books could be seen here.

Except for his books, the rest are basically literary works of a certain age, many works from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Yu Dong looked around, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the spine of a book.

"Notre Dame de Paris (Part 1)" is a novel by Victor Hugo. It is not surprising that it appears here in Yudong. It is placed next to "Les Misérables", "The Red and the Black", and "The Human Comedy".

”, “Petro Goriot” and other works, the boss seems to like French literature very much.

The reason why this book "Notre Dame de Paris" attracts Yu Dong is because of its version.

Fearing that his judgment would be wrong, Yu Dong opened the book and read it again.

Sure enough, this book has been published since April 1949, with a first printing of 1,500 copies, published by Camel Bookstore.

Luotuo Bookstore is a second-tier unit of Shanghai Life Bookstore and is not well-known. However, the translation of "Notre Dame de Paris" first appeared in Luotuo Bookstore, which is the book in Yu Dong's hand.

Because of the place where it appeared, Yu Dong suspected that it was a fake. Although this edition of "Notre Dame de Paris" is not a rare treasure now, it did not appear in a small bookstore that sells teaching aids.

The truth is, after all, it is a book published fifty years ago.

But Yu Dong read it from beginning to end several times, and found nothing wrong. This book was the same as the three sets in his home, but this book has two sides, and there is only one upper volume here.

"Boss, is this book for sale?"

The boss said without raising his head, "This store sells all the books, including the one I have."

Yu Dong smiled, walked to the cashier with the book, and handed the book to the boss: "How much does this book cost?"

"This book..." The boss looked at the book and was suddenly startled, "You want to buy this book? This book only has the first volume. Why are you buying it back?"
