Harper, Date: 2003 8vo (23.5 cm), XX, 444 pp. Publisher's cloth backed boards and dust jacket. From the publisher's description: "In A Splendor of Letters, Nicholas A. Basbanes continues the lively, richly anecdotal exploration of book people, places, and culture he began in 1995 with "A Gentle Madness" (a finalist that year for the National Book Critics Circle Award) and expanded in 2001 with Patience & Fortitude, a companion work that prompted the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer David McCullough to proclaim him "the leading authority of books about books." In this beautifully packaged edition, Basbanes brings to a close his wonderful trilogy on the remarkable world of books and bibliophiles." 2003. Harper ISBN 0060082879 9780060082871 [PL]

"A consideration of the many pressing issues that surround the role of books in contemporary society, such as the willful distruction of books and ibraries in Sarajevo, Tibet and Cambodia, and the spirited efforts to restore them. The matter of "discards" at various libraries takes on and entirely new dimension as well, with fully researched sotires about the kind of attitudes that may lead to the loss of "last copies" of important works. In vivid detail are examined the many materials that have been used over the centuries to record information, among them clay tablets, papyrus scrolls, slabs of stone, palm leaves, animals skins, and hammer sheets of gold and copper. Also discussed are the various debates that continue to rage about preservation, which may mean saving and storing books on paper indefinitely, or as electronic data, which are by nature ephemeral."
