Nicholas A. Basbanes. Stated first edition, first printing. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1995. Both price-clipped dust jacket and hardcover are in Very Good+ condition. No writing or any markings in the book, 638 pp.  

A superbly entertaining account of the passion for book collecting, and the notable characters who indulge the obsession. From the flap: "...a celebration of books and the people who have revered, gathered, and preserved them over the centuries." The indispensable book for any lover of books.

This is one of those books that is as pleasing to handle and look at as to read. Wonderful addition to your collection and library.
