Bassac ( Charente ) 2017. -- 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché cousu. Format 17,5 x 12,2 cm ( 168 gr). ------ 160 pages. illustrations, index des auteurs et des titres. ******************** "" Fuyant l air du temps, piochant dans une pile de vieux livres trouvés au hasard des marchés de livres d occasion, s informant çà et là, Paule Adamy, avec ce livre pourvu d une illustration qui plaît à l il typographique autant qu à l esprit, confronte les bibliophiles d antan dont la série se clôt avec Octave Uzanne, aux lecturomanes d une époque indécise mais les lecturomanes ne sont-ils pas de tous les temps ? L amour des livres anime les uns et les autres mais si les bibliophiles accordent toute leur attention, tous leurs soins au livre matériel, les lecturomanes, irréductibles individualistes et curieux impénitents, font leurs délices du texte seul. Malgré les apparences, pourtant, s ils refusent les diktats de l histoire littéraire, ils la tiennent pour un mal nécessaire, et surtout, ils se révèlent moins indifférents qu il ne paraît à l aspect matériel du livre. Les deux deux groupes d amateurs (au sens fort du mot) font apparaître des éditeurs aussi différents que les frères Elzévir, Damase Jouaust, Jules Gay, tous désireux certes de vendre leurs livres, mais jamais effleurés, ni les uns ni les autres, par l idée que le livre puisse être tenu une marchandise. Un monde des livres assez particulier se dessine ainsi dans Bibliophiles et Lecturomanes, un âge d or qui ne peut plus exister que dans un livre artisanal et non dans la réalité contemporaine, tout entière dominée par l Économie, c est-à-dire les chiffres et l idée que l être humain doit devenir une machine dont la seule fonction est d acheter, acheter, et encore acheter."" ********************** ref fav-0522-16

You never know what treasures can be found in someone's attic. Unfortunately for bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright, some of them are worth killing for....Brooklyn Wainwright is thrilled to be appearing on the San Francisco edition of the hit TV show This Old Attic as a rare-book expert and appraiser. Her first subject is a very valuable first-edition copy of the classic children's story The Secret Garden, which is owned by a flower vendor named Vera.Once she hears what her book is worth, Vera is eager to have Brooklyn recondition it for resale. But after the episode airs, a furious man viciously accosts Brooklyn, claiming that Vera found the first edition at his garage sale, and he wants it back--or else. Brooklyn is relieved that she's put The Secret Garden in a safe place, but Randolph Rayburn, the handsome host of This Old Attic, is terrified by the man's threats. He confides in Brooklyn that he fears he is being stalked. He doesn't know who might have targeted him, or why.In the days that follow, several violent incidents occur on the set, and Brooklyn is almost killed, leaving both her and her security expert boyfriend, Derek, shaken. Is someone after Brooklyn and the book? Or has Randolph's stalker become more desperate? And then Brooklyn visits Vera's flower shop...and discovers her dead. Is the murderer one of the two obvious suspects, or is something more sinister--even bizarre--going on? Brooklyn had better find the clever killer soon or more than her chance at prime time may be canceled...permanently.

La passion des livres rares et ses dangers.Dans ce récit autobiographique, un neurologue de réputation interna­tionale relate sa passion pour les livres rares, passion qui le conduira à détourner plusieurs millions d'euros du CHU où il dirige un service. Le scandale et le procès qui s'ensuivront l'amènent, sur un mode très proustien, à revenir sur son enfance singulière pour comprendre com­ment, au fil des années, s'est construite sa vocation de bibliophile.L'auteur décrit son milieu familial, un milieu raffiné où se côtoient peintres, écrivains et musiciens célèbres, tels Picasso, Saint-John-Perse, Aragon, Satie... Il retrace l'histoire d'une adolescence chaotique, dominée par l'écrasante figure du père, un dandy surnommé Parure, trafiquant d'or pour la nécessité, amateur d'art et de femmes pour le plaisir, et qui déroba, en 1939, L'Indifférent de Watteau, au musée du Louvre.Cette plongée lucide et douloureuse d'un homme sur son passé, sou­tenue par la force du style, constitue un étonnant examen de conscience sur les dérives d'un fervent amateur d'art.

"Brooklyn and Derek are enjoying their honeymoon in Paris when Brooklyn finds the perfect gift for Derek; a first edition of The Spy Who Loved Me. When they bump into Ned, an old friend from Derek's spy days, Brooklyn shows him her latest treasure. Back home, the owner of a spy shop Ned mentioned begs to display the book as part of a celebration. Soon after, Derek is dismayed when he receives a mysterious letter from Paris announcing Ned's death. Then late one night, someone is killed inside the spy shop. Are the murders connected to Brooklyn's rare, pricey book?"--

For centuries, lovers of books have sought first editions of written works as a means of capturing the essence of the author. Many bibliophiles contend that with each reprint of a book the reader is that much further away from what the author intended. Whether driven by a passion for books, increased bibliographic knowledge or motivated by money, bibliophiles rescue from disposal unappreciated works, uncover forgotten treasures and contribute to collections of all kinds. 43 ENTRIES INCLUDE: A.
