ISBN: 9781108015806 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 802 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 'A passion for possessing books, not so much to be instructed by them, as to gratify the eye by looking on them': thus is described 'bibliomania' by one of the characters of Thomas Frognall Dibdin (1776 1847), in this humorous novel first published in 1809.

ISBN: 9781108057271 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 642 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The bibliophile aristocrat George Spencer (1758 1834) employed Thomas Frognall Dibdin (1776 1847) as his librarian for life.

Aedes Althorpianae was published in two volumes in 1822, and although it is to a great extent devoted to further details of the great library and its contents, it is...

Bibliotheca Spenceriana: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century and of Many Valuable First Editions in the Libra
ISBN: 9781108051071 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At his death, George Spencer (1758 1834) had created the greatest private library in Europe. At the time, many aristocrats were spending huge sums acquiring rare printed books. With monastic and aristocratic libraries in Europe being dissolved, collectors had access to thousands of examples. The Second Earl Spencer's interests were in English 'black-letter' printing, especially the works of Caxton, and continental incunables, particularly first editions of Greek and Latin classics. Thomas Dibdin (1776 1847) was employed as Spencer's librarian and visited Europe searching for new acquisitions....

The Bibliographical Decameron: Or, Ten Days Pleasant Discourse Upon Illuminated Manuscripts, and Subjects Connected with Early Engraving, Typography,
ISBN: 9781108076517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 684 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Bibliomania, the almost obsessive collecting of rare books and early editions by the aristocracy, which peaked in 1812 with the sale of the Valdarfer Boccaccio, was fuelled in no small part by the work of the bibliographer Thomas Frognall Dibdin (1776-1847). His most famous book, Bibliomania, popularised the word's use in England. The present work was first published in three volumes in 1817 and may be considered a continuation of Bibliomania in both style and content. Using a dialogue format with extensive footnotes, it covers all aspects of bibliography from early illuminated manuscripts...

Bibliomania or Book Madness: Containing Some Account of the History, Symptoms and Cure of This Fatal Disease
ISBN: 9781904799016 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Dibdin's Bibliomania is an anthem to the printed book, a warning to the unwary about the perils of obsessive book-collecting, and the confessions of a rabid book-collector. As a casual glance at the book will show, Dibdin's footnotes predominate over text, and it is in the footnotes that the interest lies. They invite questions as often as they answer them. What is the supposed similarity between 'Orator' Henley's library and Addison's memoranda for the Spectator? What cutting words did Edward Gibbon write about Thomas Hearne? Why should we not be surprised to find a book on American history...
