Product Description:
Nicholas A. Basbanes has worked as an award-winning investigative reporter, a literary editor, and a nationally syndicated columnist. The author of five books, he also writes a regular column for Fine Books & Collections magazine and lectures widely on book-related issues. He and his wife, Constance, live in Massachusetts.
Nicholas Basbanes's A Gentle Madness focused on the obsessive lives of book collectors. Now, in Patience And Fortitude, he considers the more comprehensive concept of book culture - and the continual relevance of books in our lives. Patience And Fortitude considers the evolving form of the book over the centuries, preservation efforts, and the great national, public, and institutional libraries around the world. With emphasis on the experiences and thoughts of all kinds of dedicated book people - librarians, readers, writers, scholars, bookmakers, booksellers, bibliographers, preservationists, archivists, and collectors, this colourful narrative history is the perfect gift for book lovers.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In his national bestseller, "A Gentle Madness," Nicholas Basbanes explored the sweet obsession people feel to possess books. Now, Basbanes continues his adventures among the "gently mad" on an irresistible journey to the great libraries of the past — from Alexandria to Glastonbury — and to contemporary collections at the Vatican, Wolfenbuttel, and erudite universities. Along the way, he drops in on eccentric book dealers and regales us with stories about unforgettable collectors, such as the gentleman who bought a rare book in 1939 "by selling bottles of his own blood." Taking the book's grand title from the marble lions guarding the New York Public Library at 42nd Street, Basbanes both entertains and delights. And once again, as Scott Turow aptly noted, "Basbanes makes you love books, the collections he writes about, and the volume in your hand." Basbanes's "A Gentle Madness" focused on the obsessive lives of book collectors. Now, in "Patience & Fortitude, " he considers the more comprehensive concept of book culture—and the continual relevance of books in our lives. Two 16-page inserts. This item is printed on demand.
