Description

The Amenities of Book Collecting is a unique compilation of literary history, autobiography, travel writing, and, of course, the history of book collecting. Through these essays and reflections, Newton presents his own travels, collecting goals and expeditions, relationships, and interests as an introduction, for the layman and budding collector alike, to the surprisingly wide world and art of serious book collecting.

Katherine Mead-Brewer is a writer living in Baltimore, Maryland. She published her first book, The Trickster in Ginsberg: A Critical Reading, in May of 2013.
