The Anatomy of Bibliomaniaby Holbrook JacksonISBN 0252070437 (0-252-07043-7)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Anatomy of Bibliomania'Book summary:An unmitigated delight for any bibliophile, Holbrook Jackson's "Anatomy of Bibliomania" is the cornerstone of his indispensable trio of books on 'the usefulness, purpose, and pleasures that proceed from books'. "The Anatomy of Bibliomania" begins at the beginning, when books first started to appear, and gives book lovers the solace and company of book lovers from ancient Rome, the Renaissance, and the Romantics. Jackson inspects the allure of books, their curative and restorative properties, and the passion for them that leads to bibliomania ('a genial mania, less harmful than the sanity of the sane'). With deliciously understated wit, he comments on why we read, where we read - on journeys, at mealtimes, on the toilet (this has 'a long but mostly unrecorded history'), in bed, and in prison - and what happens to us when we read. He touches on bindings, bookworms, libraries, and the sport of book hunting, as well as the behavior of borrowers, embezzlers, thieves, and collectors. Francis Bacon, Anatole France, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Leigh Hunt, Marcel Proust, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Shakespeare, and scores of other luminaries chime in on books and their love for them. Unlike most manias, bibliomania is an ennobling affliction, worth cultivating, improving, and enjoying to its heights and depths. Entertaining as well as instructive, "The Anatomy of Bibliomania" is a book no book lover - and certainly no bibliomaniac - can afford to be without. [via]

The Anatomy of Melancholyby Holbrook Jackson , Robert Burton, William H. GassISBN 0940322668 (0-940322-66-8)
Softcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Anatomy of Melancholy'Book summary:One of the major documents of modern European civilization, Robert Burton's astounding compendium, a survey of melancholy in all its myriad forms, has invited nothing but superlatives since its publication in the seventeenth century. Lewellyn Powys called it "the greatest work of prose of the greatest period of English prose-writing," while the celebrated surgeon William Osler declared it the greatest of medical treatises. And Dr. Johnson, Boswell reports, said it was the only book that he rose early in the morning to read with pleasure. In this surprisingly compact and elegant new edition, Burton's spectacular verbal labyrinth is sure to delight, instruct, and divert today's readers as much as it has those of the past four centuries.

Fear of Booksby Holbrook JacksonISBN 0252070402 (0-252-07040-2)
Softcover, Univ of Illinois Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Fear of Books'Book summary:Many of the best books ever written have been destroyed by kings, priests, or committees terrified of the printed word. "The Fear of Books" examines the violence, destruction, and suppression that have hounded books throughout their history and the fears that lead to such treachery. This marvelous dissection of the antipathies ignited by books identifies three deeply seated fears: fear of insurrection, fear of blasphemy, and fear of pornography. In response to such fears, whole libraries have been burned, drowned, ripped to shreds, or locked away. As Jackson reveals, most books have been feared because someone else loved them - or thought they would assist love (Jackson devotes special attention to the aphrodisiac power of books and the steps taken to counteract it).'It is to the glory of books', Jackson says, 'that ignorance and fanaticism are their enemies'. Layering his own thoughts on the subject with the words of others, Jackson deals with self-righteous censors, snobs, powermongers, tyrants, and jealous spouses who declare war on the books their companions take to bed. Roundly skewering the false demons of obscenity, profanity, depravity, and perversion, "Fear of Books" upholds books as the soul and beacon of genuine human decency. [via]
