Book lovers know how to carefully select books, one after another, and they can withstand heavy tests. Book addicts just stack books high and high, one after another, sometimes not even glancing at them. Book lovers truly appreciate the quality of books, while book addicts only know to weigh the quantity of books with their hands. – Charles Nordier (French writer and librarian)

In a relaxed and effortless writing, the author takes us on a journey through the history and styles of books, the myriad manifestations of book addicts, the various behaviors of collectors, and the different types of book buyers, all filled with delightful humor and unique charm.
