So many wonderful links to follow. I love the book as an object - so I love bindings, illuminations, illustrations and that sort of thing. I'm not a collector, but I try to buy beautiful books when I can, even if it's only pretty J.M. Dent editions. If I *could* buy an entire library like the ones you mention, I think the Library of Robin de Beaumont that's selling next week at Bonham's would be a good start!
