Contents

For the love of books - aspects of bibliophilia and bibliomania; Randolph Greenfield Adams - sentimental bookman-scholar and "griffin" at the gate; book collecting in Missouri - three "custodians of culture"; selected bibliography on collecting books and manuscripts during the "golden age" of collecting in America, c.1890-1930.
