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.
