The Love Affairs Of A Bibliomaniac is a novel written by Eugene Field. It is a satirical work that tells the story of a man named John Smith, who is a bibliophile or book lover. John's obsession with books leads him to fall in love with them, to the point where he begins to neglect his wife and family. He spends all his time and money on buying books, and his collection grows to an enormous size.As John's obsession with books deepens, he begins to have imaginary love affairs with them. He imagines that the books are his mistresses and he spends hours caressing and admiring them. His wife becomes jealous of his love for books and begins to feel neglected.The Love Affairs Of A Bibliomaniac is a witty and entertaining novel that explores the dangers of obsession and the consequences of neglecting one's responsibilities. It is a humorous satire that pokes fun at the eccentricities of bibliophiles and the absurdities of their behavior. The novel is a must-read for anyone who loves books and appreciates the joy they bring to our lives.Never, however, have I wholly ceased to regret the loss of the Elzevir, for an Elzevir is to me one of the most gladdening sights human eye can rest upon. In his life of the elder Aldus, Renouard says: ""How few are there of those who esteem and pay so dearly for these pretty editions who know that the type that so much please them are the work of Francis Garamond, who cast them one hundred years before at Paris.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
