"...Mr. Jackson tells how men become mad over books, why and when. Also, what curious and mighty deeds men have done to get books, borrow books, write books, and even read books... In brief, the author by means of a multitude of references, quotations, examples, and instances (all carefully documented and accounted for), reveals the world of books in its historical, psychological, political, religious, scientific, rhetorical, gastronomical, erotical, medicinal, aesthetical, hedonistical, and all other aspects, past and present."

Very Good. A nice copy with solid square binding and crisp clean pages. Dust jacket in protective plastic covering. Browning to the end papers.
