A Splendor of Letters: The Permanence of Books in an Impermanent World | Nicholas A. Basbanes

2 posts | 1 read | 28 to read

In A Splendor of Letters, Nicholas A. Basbanes continues the lively, richly anecdotal exploration of book people, places, and culture he began in 1995 with A Gentle Madness (a finalist that year for the National Book Critics Circle Award) and expanded in 2001 with Patience & Fortitude, a companion work that prompted the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer David McCullough to proclaim him "the leading authority of books about books." In this beautifully packaged edition, Basbanes brings to a close his wonderful trilogy on the remarkable world of books and bibliophiles.

A Splendor of Letters: The Permanence of Books in an Impermanent World | Nicholas A. Basbanes

Well it became very obvious, over the last few months, it was time for a bigger mailbox. We are hoping our mail delivery person is happy they don't have to honk for us to come out, attempt to fit all the books we order in, or get out of their truck to put them on our deck (above and beyond the call of duty for sure)! Our old box (right) was almost 7 inches wide and the new? 16 INCHES! BRING ON BOOK MAIL! #bookmail #bibliophileproblems 😁

Jinjer That is awesome!!!! 6y
