Crazy Book-Collecting or Bibliomania is a book written by Louis Bollioud de Mermet and originally published in 1894. The book explores the topic of bibliomania, which is the excessive or obsessive collecting of books. De Mermet delves into the psychology behind bibliomania, discussing the various motivations and desires that drive people to collect books. He also examines the history of book collecting, tracing its evolution from the early days of printing to the present day. Throughout the book, de Mermet provides anecdotes and examples of famous bibliophiles, including Thomas Jefferson, who famously sold his extensive book collection to the Library of Congress. Crazy Book-Collecting or Bibliomania is a fascinating exploration of the world of book collecting, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of books and the people who collect them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
