我对书有着无由的喜爱，遇此良机哪肯轻易放过，连续几天翘班越过马路到地坛逛书市。中国书店的摊 位是必访之地。有趣的是，中国书店不止一家，摊位也分设各处，于是首先将分在几处的中国书店摊点 探寻一遍。这样下来，每每只在中国书店的收获，便成当天的满载，只好第二天再来，造访别家。 熟悉的情景，熟悉的味道，让我一刹那梦回昨日。20多年前，我初来北京，供职于安定门外地坛西门路 西的一家媒体。那时正值北京书市由太庙迁入地坛，地坛书市大约始于此时。那时地坛书市最受欢迎的 是库存书，这些书品相好，市面难觅，打折力度大，三折、两折甚至一折甩卖，一元二元即可买到心仪 之书，百元购书都可算是巨款。读者因之接踵而至，人潮汹涌。 那时的地坛书市有很多特为书市准备的书，吸引有心的读者纷纷前来，也因此，肩挑背负、汗流浃背、 满载而归成了人们逛书市的常态。往后几年的地坛书市，热度不减，一些陌生的同行者，几年下来都成 了熟面孔，偶有相顾则点头而过，心照不宣，算是彼此打过招呼。 书市的好处是出版社、文化公司、书店同台比武，既有各自的看家本领，又有寻常难见的库底功夫，还 有试水探路即将发行的新书，是神仙打架，也是出奇制胜，让爱书的读者颇多获益。值得一 ...
