The Love Of Books And Reading

The Love of Books and Reading is a 1910 volume by Oscar Kuhns (1856-1929), professor of Romance languages at Wesleyan University. It belongs to the pleasant books-about-books genre of its day, walking through the joys of collecting, the habits of great readers, and the building of a personal library. Kuhns was a Dante scholar by trade, and his learning shows lightly throughout. Anyone who hoards books will recognise themselves in it. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
