This book is really nice, a nice ironic and sharing of delusions between bibliophiles (or bibliofagi as the author calls them). You feel less alone in their oddities in books, on their own superstitious gestures and movements with autism, linked to the world of books.
Some examples? Here are more traditional. The
afraid to lend books to throw even the worst of yellow romanzacci bought for 20 cents in some second-hand book stall, for the most compulsive syndrome that interest, bookmarks and ears to the pages; the post-it or underscores pencil and Homer dilemma ... What do promotional tie that says, for example, "finalist witch ..." or "to read. (New York Times )..."?
Anyway ... to read ;-)
Synopsis
A little book for people who love books, for whom, even before its content, like the object itself. Annie Francois analyze all the possible pleasures - from the tactile to the smell - as well as aspects - the texture of the paper, the cover, the flap - related to the book. He knows, and feeds, the obsessions of the reader "bulimic": the fear of spoil, loan, ruining if borrowed, the ritual tearing of the choice of books to bring holiday, the drama of having to throw some for reasons of space. Then we discover that others, handling and reading a book, living emotions similar to ours, be readers who gives us a sense of belonging, makes us feel less alone in the world.
