Second-hand books

A second-hand bookseller (from the French "old book") is a dealer in government, rare or antique books, including a trading company.

The word "second-hand bookseller" and the phrases "second-hand book" (also "second-hand bookstore", "second-hand bookstore") are formed from the word second-hand bookseller, which are synonymous, respectively, and can generally mean a collection of old (used) books and the industry (also places) of bookselling these books. To a greater extent, second-hand books fall under the latter definition, as "trade, exchange (sometimes collecting and collecting - then in the sense of a kind of hobby) of second-hand books. Second-hand books also include other printed products (flyers, postcards, calendars), and sometimes even more broadly, all products that are information carriers, i.e., for example, also records.

The word second-hand bookseller can be understood as a dealer (or less often money changers) of second-hand books. This can be either an individual or an organization (a trading company). Accordingly, second-hand bookstores are a place (trading company) where second-hand books are sold.
The first second-hand booksellers appeared in France back in the XVI century, where merchants quickly began trading books, which were a great treasure at that time. Parisian second-hand booksellers have become especially famous, selling books for a long time and still in the very center of the city on the Seine River embankment. Already in 1649, special rules were introduced and bookcases were equipped for book distribution in the Pont Neuf in Paris. For a long time, the book in the world did not know at all the division into second-hand and non-second-hand books. Only since the 19th century, with the increase in book production and the relative increase in the availability of books, old printed books and modern book products have been clearly distinguished.

In the twentieth century. in Soviet times, books, including second-hand books, had a twofold attitude - on the one hand, Soviet people were proclaimed "the nation that reads more," and therefore all books, including old ones, were highly respected, on the other hand, a book like any industrial product, It was a commodity, so the concepts of new book products (they were sold in stores) and second-hand books, which were presented in a specially created, fairly wide network of second-hand booksellers (sometimes in the second-hand bookstores of ordinary stores), were clearly separated. It was from this time that all books were divided into categories according to the time of publication (including definitions of the concepts of "second-hand books, second-hand books"), which became well-known:
new book products are modern books that were not in use.;
A second-hand book is understood to mean all books that were issued after the October Revolution of 1917 and still are, including modern books that were in common use (i.e. used).

Antique books are books published before 1917. Under the USSR, they were very limited (actually illegal) in antique shops, because it was forbidden to trade them.
Consequently, more generally, second-hand books are generally all second-hand books (i.e. those that were previously read).
