About this book

Ainsworth Rand Spofford, who served as Librarian of Congress, wrote this 1900 guide for anyone who gathers books, at home or for the public. Chapters cover choosing and buying books, binding, bookplates, the enemies of books, repair, pamphlets and periodicals, and the art of reading. Later ones deal with the staff, buildings, cataloguing and classification of public and private book collections, then copyright, rare books and bibliography. Poetry and humour about books get chapters of their own.
