Don't miss author, and near bibliomaniac, Nicholas Basbanes on Book TV, tonight at 11:00 p.m. EDT. Viewers will have the good fortune to visit his Worcester, Massachusetts, home and more importantly for many, his library. Actually, they're one and the same, since his books take center stage from the front entry to the bathroom closet, and down to the basement where he does his research and writing.
In the meantime, check out NicholasBasbanes.com, where you'll find his ever-interesting blog, book reviews and all the news about what going on in his world of books.
He's currently working on a new book about the history of paper (you'll learn a lot about that tonight.) He's had seven books published:
- A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books
- Patience & Fortitude: Wherein a Colorful Cast of Determined Book Collectors, Dealers, and Librarians Go About the Quixotic Task of Preserving a Legacy
- Among the Gently Mad: Strategies and Perspectives for the Book Hunter in the 21st Century
- A Splendor of Letters: The Permanence of Books in an Impermanent World
- Every Book It's Reader: The Power of the Printed Word to Stir the World
- A World of Letters: Yale University Press, 1908-2008
- Editions & Impressions: My Twenty Years on the Book Beat
So, remember Nicholas Basbanes: Home Library Tour & Writing Habits on Book TV, April 12, 2009, at 11:00 PM. If you can't watch, be sure to record it. You will be so glad that you did.
