A few years back, Bill Cotter was a rare book binder who decided to get into the rare book selling business. To do this, he financed his business on a bunch of low-interest credit cards.

A version of Bill's story first appeared on McSweeneys.net. Bill is also the author of the book Fever Chart. (10 minutes)
