This book is an illustrated version of the original The Care of Books by John Willis Clark. “I call my book an Essay, because I wish to indicate that it is only an attempt to deal, in a summary fashion, with an extremely wide and interesting subject—a subject, too, which might easily be subdivided into separate heads each capable of more elaborate treatment. For instance, with regard to libraries in Religious Houses, I hope to see a book written, dealing not merely with the way in which the books were cared for, but with the subjects most generally studied, as indicated to us by the catalogues which have survived.”
The Care of Books Illustrated eBook John Willis Clark
My only complaint about this fine history on libraries and the care of books is thAt the illustrations were not accessible though a link was provided. The history provided dates to the thirteenth century, with monastic and academia leanings. The private library wasn't as we think them to be in the early years of common use. This description of these former dwellings for historical and religious times fascinated me. My ultimate design lies somewhere between a cloister and a modern one. I love the idea of mahogany shelving, corinths and balustrades, red tile floors and stained glass windows. I too worry about damp and fire, critters and borrowers; the later being worse as they rarely return a book and critters are expendable. Borrowers who don't return books aren't quite vermin,but close. I think this essay will appeal to the collector of books, librarian or personal. The history here was well worth the read for me. I won't be so blase as to think lightly on the accessibility of books as I once was. It's a privilege to be allowed access to libraries.Product details
