POWELL, LAWRENCE CLARK, Jacket, Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm, 249, [1] pp. Essays in the art of librarianship. From the blurb: " "Three loves have I," states the author, "collecting books, keeping books (which includes reading them), and giving books away". He has, in fact, a passion for books; and these nineteen essays - on reading books, collecting books and on the art of librarianship - are imbued with an enthusiasm, a fervour, and an all-out devotion to books that is both inspiring and infectious. Lawrence Clark Powell is Librarian at the University of California. As a librarian he is also a collector, and as both he is widely known to librarians and antiquarian booksellers in this country and abroad. He bought for California Michael Sadleir's famous library of Victorian fiction, and C. K. Ogden's vast library of 80,000 volumes. The collection of Oscar Wilde in his library is the most complete to be found anywhere. Cultured, informed, enthusiastic, Dr. Powell's testimonials to his two favourite places on earth - bookshops and libraries - provide a provocative volume for those who, like himself cannot live a day without some contact with books. " Booklabel on front pastedown endpaper, some foxing to endpapers, otherwise Very Good in a used dustwrapper with tape-repairs.<
