Oh Don Quixote, we're really in it now
“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”
— Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
THE DEFENCE OF GUENEVERE AND OTHER POEMS by William Morris. (London/New York/Bombay: Longmans, Green, 1900) Reprinted from the Kelmscott Press edition. Art binding.
Originally issued in 1858 when the author was just 24 years old. Morris first became enamored with all things medieval while a student of Oxford. This unattributed binding is a lovely example of the Arts and Crafts style.
text [a later edition]
it's just me and my four hundred unread books against the world
The most poetic of bookstores. The storefront is just sublime! The Le Pont Traversé bookstore, Rue de Vaugirard, in Paris. It was founded in 1949 by the poet Marcel Béalu. He gave his bookstore the name of a story by Jean Paulhan, Le Pont traversé, published in 1921.
