<p>My guest today is&nbsp;<strong>Reid Moon,&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;who left a conventional life behind to chase something far rarer than money:&nbsp;<strong>literary immortality</strong>.</p><br><p>From&nbsp;<strong>The Great Gatsby</strong>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<strong>James Joyce</strong>, from forgotten manuscripts to books that have passed through the hands of history’s giants, Reid has built a life around tracking down objects that carry&nbsp;<strong>human obsession, genius, tragedy, and belief</strong>&nbsp;inside their pages.</p><br><p>We talk about why some stories survive while others disappear, why a dust jacket can be worth more than the text itself, why provenance matters, and how owning a book once held by its author can feel eerily intimate.</p><br><p>This isn’t just a conversation about rare books. It’s about&nbsp;<strong>timeless stories</strong>, the strange afterlives of great writers, and what it says about us that we’re still chasing meaning through ink, paper, and memory.</p><br><p>Links</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MoonsRareBooks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reid's YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4b8eSCcY902FMfgvaydFzy?si=e2a1a77480d64a43" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HOW IT FALLS APART | Audio Experience</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN8JSGPR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How It Falls Apart</a> book out now 🧨</li><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/darkfindspodcast/membership" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a> 🙌🏼</li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dark.finds/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dark Finds IG</a> 💀</li><li><a href="https://amzn.eu/d/3VHPOTj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dark Finds Book</a> 📖&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Keywords</p><p>Reed Moon, rare books, book collecting, literary artifacts, F.
