A Passion for Books: A Book Lover's Treasury of Stories, Essays, Humor, Lore, and Lists Oncollecting, Reading, Borrowing, Lending, Caring For, and Appreciating Books

by Harold Rabinowitz (Editor), Rob Kaplan (Editor), Ray Bradbury (Foreword by)

About this title: Some of the bibliomaniacs whose essays or stories are collected in this anthology are great writers whose books are themselves the subjects of some collectors' uncontrollable ardor--Norman Mailer, Philip Roth, Gustave Flaubert, and Anatole France are all represented here. Other contributors--Anna Quindlen, Nicholas Basbanes, Robert Benchley--are simply mad about books and confess their addictions and detail their passions in their essays.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
