Description
"In Books in My Life the noted scholar, bibliographer, and book collector G. Thomas Tanselle reflects upon his background, education, connections, and the role of books and other physical objects in his life. As the title suggests, the character of this collection of essays is largely autobiographical. The book includes these essays: "Books in My Life," "The Pleasures of Being a Scholar-Collector" (the Grolier Club's Nikirk Lecture), "The Living Room: A Memoir," "An Ode to Artifacts," "A Rationale of Collecting," "Non-Firsts," "Publishers' Imprints," "Association Copies," "A Bibliographer's Creed," as well as Tanselle's professional chronology, list of publications, and résumé"--
