Perfect for anyone who just wants to hunker down and immerse themselves in bibliophile book-loving. ( ) Ok this is a keeper. The organization is awfully clever, as each chapter is about one aspect of loving books. Additionally, within in each chapter, the quotes are arranged so that each very often directly contradicts, or further illuminates, the one preceding it. I also appreciate the diversity of quotes from many eras and from people of different walks of life and of different degrees of renown. I do wish there were more non-Western inclusions, though. And there's a handy subject index, as well as an author index. Great fun, especially in morsels of time. Recommended to readers, writers, collectors, reviewers. Probably especially recommended to digital readers, as you could highlight, cross-reference, comment, etc. to your heart's content. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
The ideal gift for any book obsessive, A Book Addict's Treasury is an extensively researched anthology of more than 350 quotations and extracts from a wide selection of writers and thinkers - all on the subject of books. The witty, wise and evocative words cover every aspect of bookishness - including hoarding, buying, borrowing, arranging, stealing, choosing, losing, reviewing and displaying - and comprise memoirs, poetry, journalism, fiction and philosophy. The sources of the extracts range from Erasmus to Edith Wharton to Umberto Eco, from Dante to Descartes to Dickens, from Edward Gibbon to Kenneth Grahame to Groucho Marx. Celebrating the timeless pleasures of reading, casting an irreverent eye over the foibles and eccentricities of booklovers and revealing the reading habits of a host of famous writers, this compendium is a must for any bibliomane. Indeed, if you buy only one book this year, this one is probably not for you. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
