Belanger, Terry LUNACY AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF BOOKS
New Castle Oak Knoll Books 2003 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. (ii), 24 pages.
First edition, third printing. A humorous and poignant essay on the idiosyncrasies of book arrangements by collectors over the centuries. Professor Belanger treats the reader to some of the idiotic methods of categorizing and shelving books. One gem from an etiquette book of 1863 decreed that a perfect hostess will see to it that the works of male and female authors be properly segregated on her book shelves. Their proximity, unless they happen to be married, should not be tolerated. This book will bring a smile to the face of any bibliophile. Belanger, founder of the Book Arts Press, is the University Professor and Honorary Curator of Special Collections at the University of Virginia.

Bennett, Stuart THE PERFECT VISIT.
(Northampton, MA) Longbourn Press (2011) 8vo. stiff paper wrappers (ii), 343+(1) pages
The Perfect Visit tells the story of two bibliophiles who go back in time to rescue lost books and manuscripts. Vanessa Horwood decides on Regency England; Ned Marston goes to Shakespeare's.

The novel takes its title from Jane Austen's Emma: "it was a delightful visit -- perfect, in being much too short." This is what Vanessa and Ned plan for. Then things go wrong and their sojourns become longer and more dangerous than either had ever imagined.

Vanessa falls foul of the law, transported from Jane Austen's genteel world to the dark underbelly of a Regency prison. 1607 London shows an equally black side to Ned when he antagonizes one of Shakespeare's rivals, escaping with his life only to find that an accident of time takes him only halfway home.

First edition.

Bertrand, Jean. JEAN BERTRAND. BIBLIOTHÈQUE. AUTEURS PAR ORDER ALPHABETIQUE.[From spine labels:]
N.P. n.p. n.d. Book box, labeled as noted above (3320 x 255 mm), hinged on front joint, clasps, full calf over oak boards, two leather spine labels
Book box that, when opened, reveals four green paper-lined sections for catalogue cards (each 42 x 75mm), each section held in place by solid barriers with moveable lettered divisions. A charming and unusual private library catalogue containing a few hundred records in two alphabetically listed columns, with the two further columns filled with blank cards. Many of the card entries are pasted clippings from booksellers' catalogues, some as late as the 1920s. In some cases the clippings are pasted onto the verso of what appear to be earlier ink entries, giving the impression that the catalogue was used over many years. The books described make for a pretty miscellaneous lot of information that do not indicate any particular proclivity of the owner. There are, however, two card entries under Bertrand (Jean) for the Compte-rendu de la Session de Congrès central d'Agriculture for the years 1846 and 1847 respectively. Covers quite bashed with some loss of leather, with some worm drill holes, but all perfectly sound and the wear (arguably) enhances the distressed antique look.
