Seller: Structure, Verses, Agency Books, Spray, OR, U.S.A.
Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. An uncommonly fine-looking, structurally sound trade paperback copy, little discernible wear to the exterior, bright, gilt illustrated covers, with a bright interior, unmarked. Handsomely bound, a lengthy, rousing, accessible ode to libraries and those who build and frequent them, covering in the process everything from the library of Alexandria to those in contemporary times who will do anything to buy book collections. From the publisher's blurb, "The passion to possess books has never been more widespread or popular than it is today; indeed, obsessive book collecting remains the only hobby to have a disease named after it. A Gentle Madness is an adventure among the afflicted. Richly anecdotal and fully documented, it combines the perspective of historical research with the immediacy of investigative journalism. Above all, it is a celebration of books and the people who have revered, gathered, and preserved them over the centuries." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xvi [1], 1-638 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
