Inhaltsangabe
This book is a farrago of literary trivia, a treasure trove of obscure and irresistible facts, definitions, lists, and quotations that touch on every aspect of books, including their authors, publishers, printers, collectors, critics, pundits, readers, and enemies. Under headings that explore the entire history of bibliomania from "The Invention of Paper" to "Some Horror Writer's Official Web Sites," the entries in Bibliotopia provide the insatiably curious reader with a delightfully desultory literary education, the kind of beguiling literary gossip and information one might overhear at a cocktail party on Parnassus.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Banfield, Elliott (illustrator). 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. 175pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "What is the origin of the word 'book'? What is the oldest working library still in existence? What is an 'enchiridion'? An 'amphigory'? A 'duodecimo'? Which two Nobel laureates refused the prize in literature? How many trees must sacrifice their lives to produce a thousand copies of a 96-page volume of verse? [] These are some of the questions posed (and answered) in this fascinating farrago of literary trivia, a treasure trove of obscure and irresistible facts, definitions, lists, and quotations that touch on every aspect of books, including their authors, publishers, printers, collectors, critics, readers, and enemies. Under headings that explore the entire history of bibliomania from 'The Invention of Paper' to 'Some Horror Writers' Official Websites,' the entries in BIBLIOTOPIA provide the insatiably curious reader a delightfully desultory literary education, the kind one might pick up at a cocktail party on Parnassus.' [jacket copy] "The best book is not the one that informs merely, but that stirs the reader up to inform himself."--Aiden Wilson Tozer. "Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman. Believing what he read made him mad."--George Bernard Shaw. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in the Fine first Elliott Banfield illustrated jacket colored in burgundy & silver. Quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB2994
