Bookmen's Bedlam
An Olio of Literary Oddities
Walter Hart Blumenthal
Hardbound with original dust jacket
273 pages
Publisher: Rutgers University Press, New Jersey
Date Published: 1955
Walter Blumenthal, an avid and eccentric bibliophile with a particular interest
in strange books recounts the history of "literary oddities" including anecdotes
about his own bizarre collection.
A delightful book about books, full of weird, wayward, and wonderful stories about
books: miniatures and monstrously large books, unusual bindings, printing at sea,
children's books, and much more.
This volume came from the collection of a discrete owner.
The book has been gently read, and the pages are clean and bright
with serious wear to it's cover. The book itself is solid, sturdy and clean.
The front side of the book where the pages meet, someone has drawn Christmas holly.
There is also a blue ink pen inscription on the inside front cover.
