A little bookshop in Holland

When my friend recommended a children's classic that I hadn't read,  Satchkin Patchkin by Helen Morgan, I  had to go hunting for it.  The trusty bookshop had nothing, and there was nothing online either, but I followed the trail to Abe's Books, and, hurrah, there was one copy available, for only $18.00. 10 days later a thin parcel arrived for me from a small town in the Netherlands.  The world is getting smaller in so many ways, some of them quite beautiful.
