About This Item
Octagon Books, New York, 1978. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Did you hear about the engineer in Central America, who, lacking a Bible, married a couple who did not speak English by reading aloud a chapter of Tristam Shandy? That's what this book is about: Books. How we love them, how we read, collect, think, and feel about them. How we collect, steal (shame on you, Catherine deMedici), organize and read them. Everything bibliophillic. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 668 pages, index. Book in very nice condition - head and tail of spine lightly bumped, lighte edge and corner wear. No dust jacket. Open edges look as if they had light contact with water/ginger ale. It hasn't changed the texture of the paper - no ripple or ruffle - but it's there, in a certain light. Lower corner of open edges lightly soiled. Gift inscription neatly inked on top of first page. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2 - 3 pounds. Category: Books on Books; ISBN: 0374941289. ISBN/EAN: 9780374941284. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 605147. . 9780374941284 Additional shipping charges may apply.
