Bibliophilia Must Read Book-Among the Gently Mad
I've posted before about my book collection including some of my rare books, see post:
http://livelylibrarian.blogspot.com/2007/11/antiquarian-dreams.html
In my pursuit of acquiring some great rare books I am reading, Among the Gently Mad: Strategies and Perspectives for the Book Hunter in the Twenty First Century by Nicholas Basbanes.
Full of strategies for the modern day bibliophile this book is a must read for any collector. Topics include finding rare books at auctions, book fairs, brokers and collectors as well as through websites such as Ebay.
A must read for any bibliophile!
