Nicholas A. Basbanes Patience & fortitude

a roving chronicle of book people, book places, and book culture

The author explores the changing form of the book over the centuries and describes the nature of the institutions that have evolved to contain them, including academic, public, private, and national repositories. He profiles the experiences and thoughts of all kinds of decicated 'book people', be they librarians, readers, writers, bookmakers, booksellers, preservationists, or collectors.
