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]
