Basbanes Nicholas A
A Gentle Madness : Bibliophiles Bibliomanes and the Eternal Passsion for Books
New York: Henry Holt 1995 "The passion to possess books has never been more widespread than it is today; indeed obsessive book collecting remains the only hobby to have a disease named after it. A Gentle Madness is an adventure among the afflicted. Richly anecdotal and fully documented it combines the perspective of historical research with the immediacy of investigative journalism. Above all it is a celebration of books and the people who have revered gathered and preserved them over the centuries. Author Nicholas Basbanes. a dedicated bibliophile himself begins his book 2200 years ago in Alexandria when a commitment was made to gather all the world's knowledge beneath one roof. In a series of lively chapters the continuum then passes through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the twentieth century. with a special emphasis on book lore and book culture in Great Britain and North America. In the second half of A Gentle Madness. Basbanes offers a gallery of revealing profiles of living collectors and presents exclusive examinations of the great contemporary stories-the rare-book thefts of Stephen Blumberg: "institutional bilbiomania" at the University of Texas; the mystery man who used $17 million of another preson's money to gain recognition as the greatest book collector alive. These are just a few of the stories detailed for the first time. The book also includes the most comprehensive bibliography on book collecting compiled in more than a quarter century." 638 p.Illus.notes biibliography index. 1st US Ed. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine - Price Clipped. Henry Holt hardcover

Basho
Portrait of Bashô
Tempe AZ: Kelly M. Houle 2008. Houle Kelly M. 1ff. accordion-fold. One of thirty copies signed by the artist Kelly M. Houle. The book is comprised of a fold-out illustration of a banana plant printed in black on yellow parchment-textured paper. Below the illustration is a haiku by the seventeenth-century Japanese poet Matsuo Bashô who is often regarded as the master of that poetic form. The poem reads: "A banana plant in the autumn gale- / I listen to the dripping of rain / into a basin at night." Inside the book's cover opposite the illustration is a mylar mirror. When viewed reflected in the curved mirror the banana plant's leaves become an anamorphic portrait of the poet Bashô. Bound in gilt-patterned paper-covered boards with a black cloth spine. An attached ribbon wraps around the book securing it closed. Extremely fine. 1 3/8 by 1; 35x27mm. Kelly M. Houle unknown
