| Summary, etc | BIBLIOPHILIA: A perfectly acceptable addiction marked by obsessive reading, aggressive book-sniffing and strategic hoarding.<br/><br/>For as long as Ferose, a San Francisco-based techie and ‘gently mad’ bibliophile, has understood books, he has devoured them with the unmitigated enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush. For him, reading has been more than a weekend pursuit or a hobby on steroids. It has been a lifestyle – generously peppered with serendipitous first edition finds and deliberate in-store title hunting – of which he kept meticulous notes.<br/><br/>In this intimate and refreshingly honest essay collection – illustrated by artists on the autism spectrum – Ferose professes his undying love for books and elaborates on his relationship with the life-affirming act of reading. Enthusiastically noting titles that carry scribbles in the neglected margins to gushing over one-of-a-kind collectibles, he delves into his varied picks, bringing his most formative bookish adventures to readers.<br/><br/>Part memoir and part fascinating study of the quiet, fulfilling act of reading and collecting books, this joyous meld of anecdotes and recollections explores the sweeping genius of books and storytelling, and how they continually refine our collective conscience. |
