	Imaginary Voyages & Invented Worlds. Potts Point, NSW: Hordern House, 2002. Â ¶ A descriptive catalogue of first printings, or significant issues of one hundred and eighty works published between1518 and 1970, from Thomas More to Yevgeny Zamyatin. In six sections: Utopia; The South Land; Adventures Of The Imagination; The Idyll In French Literature; Out Of This World; Dystopia. With bibliography and index. From the Introduction: "Although the catalogue is based on the concept of utopian literature, and its literary companion the imaginary voyage, this is not simply an enumeration of literary and philosophical accounts of ideal worlds: it also deals with the ways in which the notion of an ideal society has often been tightly interwoven with the history of actual voyages, responding to and sometimes even influencing them. The line between genuine voyages of discovery and their fictional counterparts is not impermeable. Even the first work in the genre, Utopia itself, uses the voyages of Vespucci to tend credence to its story. In later publications the voyages of Dampier, Cook, La PÃ©rouse and other navigators are frequently used in the same way, providing camouflage for invention." Illustrated throughout and with extensive scholarly commentary on each work. Softcover/Paperback/Catalogue. ISBN: 1875567348. Quarto [126] pages. A fine copy.

	FISHBURN, MATTHEW. Burning Books. Houndsmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. Â ¶ THIS COPY SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. The Nazi burning of the books in 1933 was one of the most infamous political spectacles of the twentieth century. In Berlin and all over Germany, Nazi officials and students organized elaborate parades and bonfires to mark their embrace of Hitler's new government. Book burning has since become the symbol of any oppressive regime, and a modern taboo. As Heinrich Heine is often quoted: 'Where one burns books, one will soon burn people'. This original and provocative new work examines the impact of these fires, concentrating on the years between the Nazi outrages and the publication of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 in 1953, a period in which book burning took hold of the popular imagination. Much more than simply the study of a single shocking event, Burning Books explores how deeply embedded the myths of book burning have become in our cultural and literary history, and illustrates the enduring appeal of a great cleansing bonfire.

	PETROSKI, HENRY. The Book On The Bookshelf. NY: Knopf, 1999. Â ¶ That bookshelves might harbor secret and enchanting lives is a thrilling prospect for any serious reader. What laws of human nature govern our sturdy cases of books? What damning quirks of character glare from a few casually stowed volumes? In this disappointing study, however, Petroski's effort to reveal the "evolution of the bookshelf as we know it" yields few rewards. Pondering the physics of the bookend and the genealogy of the library carrel, this Duke University scholar observes the bookshelf as a piece of the infrastructure undergirding our civilization. We learn that medieval books were chained to their shelves to prevent theft, and that beverage stains have plagued bibliophiles almost since the dawn of the printed word. Admirers of Petroski's earlier works (The Evolution of Useful Things, Remaking the World, etc.) will not be surprised by his exquisite research, or by the gusto with which he plunges into the dustiest of library bins. But the bookshelf proves a more oblique topic than bridges or even pencils, two of Petroski's other interests. The practical construction principles of bookshelves make for rather dull reading, and conjecture about lectern usage in the Middle Ages wears thin. This book is most successful when delving into the gritty aspects of engineering, whether it be the cantilevered forces of library book stacks or the architecture of the British Museum Reading Room. After lingering among such fusty stacks, readers will welcome the whimsical appendix, which proposes arranging one's books alphabetically by the author's first name, or even by the first word of the antepenultimate sentence.

	PETROSKI, HENRY. The Book On The Bookshelf. NY: Knopf, 1999. Â ¶ That bookshelves might harbor secret and enchanting lives is a thrilling prospect for any serious reader. What laws of human nature govern our sturdy cases of books? What damning quirks of character glare from a few casually stowed volumes? In this disappointing study, however, Petroski's effort to reveal the "evolution of the bookshelf as we know it" yields few rewards. Pondering the physics of the bookend and the genealogy of the library carrel, this Duke University scholar observes the bookshelf as a piece of the infrastructure undergirding our civilization. We learn that medieval books were chained to their shelves to prevent theft, and that beverage stains have plagued bibliophiles almost since the dawn of the printed word. Admirers of Petroski's earlier works (The Evolution of Useful Things, Remaking the World, etc.) will not be surprised by his exquisite research, or by the gusto with which he plunges into the dustiest of library bins. But the bookshelf proves a more oblique topic than bridges or even pencils, two of Petroski's other interests. The practical construction principles of bookshelves make for rather dull reading, and conjecture about lectern usage in the Middle Ages wears thin. This book is most successful when delving into the gritty aspects of engineering, whether it be the cantilevered forces of library book stacks or the architecture of the British Museum Reading Room. After lingering among such fusty stacks, readers will welcome the whimsical appendix, which proposes arranging one's books alphabetically by the author's first name, or even by the first word of the antepenultimate sentence.
