Stocking Stuffer 2015

About the book

6a00d8345295c269e201bb089c42bd970d-250wiThe theme to the 2015 Stocking Stuffer is "book-collecting". Because we really like collecting books.

Accordingly, it includes all sorts of useful advice for bibliophiles, including:

Where's the best book-shopping in 19th century London?

Why should collectors be wary of limited editions?

Why shouldn't you remove mysterious stains?

What books did Napoleon collect?

All these secrets and more!

Plus the traditional rambling introduction from Jared Shurin and a gorgeous cover from Sarah Anne Langton.

Contents:

  • "The Chief Delight" by Jared Shurin
  • "Book Buying" by Mitchell S Buck
  • "The Hunting Grounds of London" by J.H. Slater
  • "Richard Heber" by Leon H Vincent
  • "Napoleon" by H.B. Wheatley
