About this product
Product Information
Compulsory for anyone seriously interested in books or curious about the manic nature of collecting. -New York Times Book Review 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.

The book arrived well packed get & I pristine condition at a good price. I would have liked it by 1st class post & I contacted this Seller via EBAY 'CONTACT' but got NO RESPONSE via either my email account or on ebay and certainly not in my Spam folder...SO what can you say I was inconvenienced a bit but got a positive outcome? I think they're reliable for transactions but something is remiss with electronic communication via EBAY or perhaps not tech savvy or disinterested or unwell etc..

As usual with this seller, the book was exactly as described and very well packed. However, delivery times can vary significantly. This was one of 4 books ordered at the same time. Two arrived in about a week, but this one took almost 3 weeks. A reliable seller who answers questions promptly, but could improve on dispatch times.

I keep coming back to this seller to buy my books if they have what I want in stock, as they are always in beautiful mint condition, packaged well, and arrive earlier than listed. Brilliant and prompt communication too. Thanks again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
