ISBN10: 0375406492, ISBN13: 9780375406492, [publisher: Alfred A. Knopf : Distributed by Random House, New York, first edition, 1999] Hardcover First Edition Two-tone paper-covered boards, 8vo, 25 cm, x, 290, [2] pp, over 60 ills. From the blurb - ".Petroski turns to the subject of books and bookshelves, and wonders whether it was inevitable that books would come to be arranged vertically as they are today on horizontal shelves. As we learn how the ancient scroll became the codex became the volume we are used to, we explore the ways in which the housing of books evolved. Petroski takes us into the pre-Gutenberg world, where books were so scarce they were chained to lecterns for security. He explains how the printing press not only changed the way books were made and shelved, but also increased their availability and transformed book readers into book owners and collectors. He shows us that for a time books were shelved with their spines in, and it was not until after the arrival of the modern bookcase that the spines faced out. In delightful digressions, Petroski lets Seneca have his say on 'the evils of book collecting'; examines the famed collection of Samuel Pepys (only three thousand titles: old discarded to make room for new); and discusses bookselling, book buying, and book collecting through the centuries. Richly illustrated and wonderfully written, this is the ultimate book on the book: how it came to be and how we have come to keep it." ...

New York: Alfred A Knopf Inc, Date: 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hardback Alfred A Knopf Inc., 1999. First Edition. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Fine Condition. Very clean and unmarked book in burnt-orange and cream binding; upper front corner has small crease, spine head and heel shelf-compressed. Sewn binding tight & solid, square with sharp corners; no former owner notations. Jacket not price-clipped, slight edgewear. Books and book shelves- from the ancient scroll to the codex as the book we know today, Petroski takes the reader into the pre-Gutenberg world, where books were chained to lecterns for security; to how the printing press evolved and changed the way books were made and shelved, and how their availability eventually transformed book readers into owners and collectors; and to how books are shelved--and the history of, yes, shelving and storage of books. Books, book selling, book collecting, book buying through the centuries.
