Great Anthology, A Feast For Book Lovers

Being a confirmed bibliophile and borderline biblioholic and bibliomaniac, I have to say I really relished the pieces included in this collection - it feels like a session of "The Biblioholics Anonymous"! The fly in the ointment and an irksome annoyance is the haphazard copy editing! This really detracts from an otherwise wonderful book. Was "spell check" not available to the editors, then? I found several pages where there were more than a couple of spelling errors! But a great 'pillow book' just the same!
