Tiger of the Stripe has only published one book about books, an annotated edition of Thomas Frognall Dibdin’s The Bibliomania, or Book-Madness, but we have plans for several more. The first will be William Blades’s Enemies of Books, followed by Richard de Bury’s Philobiblon. Later in the year, there’ll be a new edition of Richard Atkyns’s Original and Growth of Printing, together with his Vindication.

Meanwhile, my friend Margaret Willes has written Reading Matters: Five Centuries of Discovering Books (Yale, £19.99). I’ll be reviewing it in due course, meanwhile, here is some information from the publisher.
