birthday in January 2009, I wrote a memoir in the form of a tour guide to my
living room, with descriptions of the objects it contains and the
associations they have for me. I am delighted that the Council of the
Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia has agreed to publish this memoir in due course, along
with some of my other autobiographical essays and pieces on book collecting,
as a separate volume. I am also pleased that the editor of Studies in
Bibliography, who has long shown an interest in biographical
studies of bibliographers, wishes to print a few excerpts from the memoir
here. I have selected eleven sections out of forty-five—those
numbered 1, 5, 7–10, 13, 17, 18, 22, and 36, which are some of the
ones most directly related to the world of books and bibliography. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
