Features: Love extends to the nestling, and I really enjoy reading various articles about books, such as prefaces, book talks, hunting for old books, and reading notes, etc. With leisure time, I occasionally put pen to paper to write something about books. Over the past decade or so, I’ve unknowingly written over 200 articles. Looking back and rereading them, I feel there are still some redeeming qualities, and they seem worth selecting and compiling. So, I chose over 110 articles and handed them to Zhihui Publishing House. In the past few years, I edited two books about books—one was Browsing Old Bookstores and Hunting for Old Books, and the other was Traveling and Hunting for Books in Other Places. For this collection of my articles about books, I still followed the seven-character title format and named this book Reading, Hunting for Books, and Recording Book Collections.
