'Crazy Book-collecting Or Bibliomania' delves into the peculiar world of obsessive book collecting. This work explores the motivations and behaviors of bibliomaniacs, individuals driven by an insatiable desire to acquire rare, curious, and expensively bound books. Highlighting the great folly, the book examines the pursuit of first editions, unique copies, and large paper editions, questioning the value and sanity of such endeavors. Originally written by Louis Bollioud de Mermet and Alphonse Duprat, this edition is presented by the esteemed Grolier Club, adding historical context and authority to the subject.
