A Mild Case of Bibliomania
Loading...
Uploaded by EustonPiretRussell on Sep 28, 2011
Raymond Russell tells the story of his bibliomania, how his book collection has grown and changed over the years, and how it led to the founding of the Tartarus Press, which has published rare work by some of the writers he collects, including Arthur Machen, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Edward Heron-Allen (Christopher Blayre.)

I just had to say that I really LOVE Arthur Machen, his writing is so beautiful and unsettling, and subtle.
I'm a bit more "practical" about the whole thing I suppose -- often when the writer is too expensive for me to buy I will print and bind the stories myself. I think bookbinding ought to be something more people learn.

I collect the Knoph Yellow edition Machens... you are right about how the internet ruined the hunt....

I used to love getting the Scholastic catalogs in school.

I found this by accident, having last night finished the Sylvia -David letters. I felt rather sad as I hear my aunt Janet's voice when I read those letters and miss her still , then there was her distintive signature on one of your books. Im glad that you like Arthur and Sylvia . The video was very moving , I will look out for your books. Andrea Machen

Hi Andrea - although I have Arthur and Sylvia's signatures in several books, it's Janet's inscription that I treasure most. She meant so much to so many people, and I still miss her.
And without Janet there would have been no Tartarus Press!
