BioMary McCarthy once observed tartly that a bibliophile is
just an art collector with a slightly unusual specialization.
If this is a bit harsh, it is nonetheless true that a bibliophile
appreciates books for their physical qualities (binding, paper,
ink, typography) or rarity at least as much as for their content.
McCarthy would hardly have been displeased, however, if she'd
known that first editions of her own books would today be
fetching over $100.
