Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book looks at the early 19th-century phenomenon known as 'Bibliomania,' in which wealthy collectors competed fiercely to acquire rare books and manuscripts. The author describes two major sales from this period, one in 1812 and one in 1834, which saw collections of previously unseen value come to auction. The book delves into the motivations of these collectors, explores the complex world of book collecting, and notes the decline in interest at the time the author was writing. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of books, collecting, and the curious characters who populate it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331473558_0
