If you love books, you'll love this one! Armchair Interviews The announcement of a new book by Nicholas Basbanes is an occasion of joy for any devoted reader who loves reading about books. My copies of Basbanes' works are the backbone of my collection of books about books, and it is he who introduced me to the dazzling world of the "gently mad."Since reading A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books, I eagerly await each installment to discover what secret corridors and closed doors he will open next. Basbanes' works act as a secret handshake that allows entry to a world any serious bibliophile longs to enter, a world devoted to the care, handling and . Estimable Essays James M. Mr. Basbanes continues his stream of seemingly unending book lore in this splendacious volume of 12 essays and approximately 40 b&w photo illustrations. I cannot envision any way that one might go wrong in purchasing this book. The previous ten reviewers provided excellent accounts of the work, so my only purpose is to add two recommendations that may be of interest to some.

This book captures the common aspects of the serious readers. I grabbed this book from the 'new and notable' shelf at my library and I love it so much I'm buying it and giving it as gifts to my boo
