The author, an avid book collector, calls for the better protection of books against the "enemies" which lead to their physical destruction. In a series of brief chapters, he details the losses caused by raging fire, floods of water, noxious gases, sheer neglect, ignorant bigotry, invasions of bookworms and other vermin, inept bookbinders, clueless book collectors, clumsy servants, and mishandling by children.

(5 estrellas)

I did not read the description of this book thoroughly and I was expecting a comment. it's not. it is a non-fiction book accurately describing what the title is. It's a bit outdated but it's still accurate. truly a great reason and I enjoy it
