Bibliomania

Tuesday 24 July 2007 23:00-23:15 (Radio 3)

Self-confessed bibliomaniac Ian Sansom explores the history and characteristics of the condition. A crucial and fraught question for book collectors is that of storage. Where to put the books? And how to order and arrange them? Ian examines the history of book storage, from tables to lecterns to cabinets and shelves, drawing gratefully on the seminal work by Henry Petrowski.
