Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 353 Pages. A sampling of the literary treasures in this book - Urnberto Eco's "How to Justify a Private Library," dealing with the question everyone with a sizable library is inevitably asked: "Have you read all these books?"- Anatole Broyard's "Lending Books," in which he…notes, "I feel about lending a book the way most fathers feel about their daughters living with a man out of wedlock." Gustave Flaubert's Bibliomania, the classic tale of a book collector so obsessed with owning a book that he is willing to kill to possess it. A selection from Nicholas Basbanes's A Gentle Madness, on the innovative arrangements Samuel Pepys made to guarantee that his library would survive intact after his demise. Robert Benchley's "Why Does Nobody Collect Me?"-in which he wonders why first editions of books by his friend Ernest Hemingway are valuable while his are not, deadpanning, "I am older than Hemingway and have written more books than he has." George Hamlin Fitch's extraordinarily touching "Comfort Found in Good Old Books," on the solace he found in books after the death of his son. A selection from Anna Quindlen's How Reading Changed My Life, in which she shares her optimistic view on the role of reading and the future of books in the computer age. Robertson Davies's "Book Collecting," on the difference between those who collect rare books because they're valuable and those who collect them because they love books, ultimately making it clear which is "the collector who really matters.".

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. (Discrepancy between back cover ISBN and copyright page variant -- whatever the number may suggest to the contrary, this is a softcover Times publication from 1999.) First paperback edition, second printing, we believe. Bibliophiliac anthology kept pristine save for the briefest ins…tances of edge wear -- bumping of heel, tiny divot of crown. See photos.
