Best known for his work collecting folk and fairy tales, this is the Scottish writer Andrew Lang's treatise on all things bookish. As he states in the preface, the work is "the swan-song of a book-hunter. The author does not book-hunt any more: he leaves the sport to others, and with catalogues he lights a humble cigarette".
