I've written here before about the thrill of the hunt: about scouring used bookstores or out of the way record stores for the item that would complete my collection. The thrill is all in the hunt, more often than not. Really what the hunt is about is an excuse to drop in to a store where you haven't been, or even to detour to a city that is strange to you, just to search for that elusive object. The internet takes some of the fun out, no doubt about it. Here's a good essay on the subject, by David L. Ulin. I'll be on the lookout for "Canary in a Cat House".
