Flush with $400,000 dollars from selling his great great grandfather's correspondence with Victorian authors, Larry Dickerson, retired bank clerk, amateur editor, and literary neophyte, needs a creative outlet for his newly acquired funds and quickly escalating love of all things bookish.

"Bibliophiles will enjoy Hall's cleverly fictionalized exploration of literary history and the thrill of seeking bookish treasures." -Booklist

"A brisk yet thorough read. Bibliophilia will likely appeal to those who love to learn about books and their authors, and to those with a yen for collecting. Larry's compulsion may prove to be contagious." -Foreword Reviews

"Bibliophilia is zippy, a consequence of its epistolary form, and amusing. It's clear that the author is among the 'gently mad' himself, as his prose clearly demonstrates his knowledge of the subject." -Fine Books & Collections
