Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Puede parecer que este libro trata sobre libros ?sobre su almacenamiento, las distintas formas de robarlos, los vicios que suscitan o sus digestiones?, pero la realidad es otra. Se trata de un panegírico. Una apología de la lectura. Una alabanza del lector (. . . ) Gladstone y Roosevelt, Wharton y Woolf, Roberts y Carroll son aquí Ğlectoresğ. Esta es la clave de los textos que reunimos en este volumen. A veces podrá darnos la sensación de que se enfrascan en otras cuestiones, pero quien preste atención observará cómo no logran reprimir del todo una sonrisa furtiva al saberse entre iguales. Porque, como los tahúres de Las Vegas, estos lectores saben que lo que pasa en los libros se queda en los libros. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardback or Cased Book. Condition: New. American Backlogs: The Story of Gertrude Tyler and Her Family, 1660-1860. Book.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro es una apología de la lectura y una alabanza del lector, entendiendo por lector a aquella persona vehemente y excéntrica que entabla con los libros la misma relación que un gato con una pantufla vieja. A diferencia de otros adictos ?léase: coleccionistas, escritores, bibliotecarios?, quien se define como Ğlectorğ es una persona distinta de aquella que colecciona, escribe o trabaja con libros? incluso si ambas comparten un mismo rostro en el carnet de identidad. Las autoras y los autores de los textos que reunimos en estas páginas fueron muchas cosas a lo largo de sus vidas. Pero aquí solo son, por convicción y decisión propia, lectores. Como Borges, están tan satisfechos con sus lecturas que dejan que los demás se enorgullezcan de lo que han hecho o escrito. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Drawings by Howard Pyle, Joseph Pennell, Charles Dana Gibson, others (illustrator). 1st Edition. This hefty large octavo volume, binding six monthly issues of the 19th Century magazine, is half-bound in cordovan leather over black pebbled boards, with original floral endpapers, the hinges holding well. Closes its own text block and would thus grade "very good," but we downgrade to "good plus" due to substantial wear and rub which has stripped the leather to outer corners. Notable primarily for Thomas Commerford Martin's 18-page essay on Nikola "Tesla's Oscillator and Other Inventions," with 15 illustrations including long-exposure portraits of Mark Twain and Tesla himself, each in Tesla's darkened laboratory, lit only by Tesla's incandescent and phosphorescent bulbs -- including photos of experiments in which lamps are lit "in free space by induction from coil below, energized by distant circuit around the room." This volume also includes a further three-page essay with engraved portrait or Hermann Von Helmholtz by Mr. Commerford Martin; a report with photos on the inventor Hiram Maxim's "New Flying-Machine," a complex and somewhat ramshackle steam-powered (!) construction which never seems to have actually gotten off the ground; Kate Chopin's story "Azelie" (illustrated by Eric Pope); Rudyard Kipling's nine-page story "A Walking Delegate"; comments on a proposal for "Forest Preservation by Military Control" from Frederick Law Olmstead, Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, and others; a 19-page essay on John Paul Jones by Molly Elliot Seawell, profusely illustrated by Howard Pyle; the first two parts of Harriet Waters Preston's essay "Beyond the Adriatic," illustrated by Joseph Pennell (who also illustrated Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer's "Churches of Provence"); Mrs. Van Rensselaer's "People in New York," illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson; William M. Sloane's multi-part biography of Napoleon Bonaparte; a 14-page illustrated report on "New Weapons of the United States Army" to include the Krag-Jorgensen rifle with its side-loading magazine, the Ericsson torpedo and numerous coastal defense cannon of up to 12 inches (few of which, we feel certain, were ever fired in anger); a seven page "dramatic sketch" on "The Passing of Muhammad, Prophet of Arabia" in blank verse by Sir Edwin Arnold; Edith Wharton's poem "Jade," and, on the final page, a dialect poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. This bound volume weighs slightly more than 4 lbs. -- overseas shipment could be costly. 960 pp., here reduced from $1,275.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Drawings by Howard Pyle, Joseph Pennell, Charles Dana Gibson, others (illustrator). 1st Edition.
