I have often said that a good book has the effect of making the reader want to read other books. This is a collection of catalogs of the Roochvarg collection. Reading a catalog such as this one, it is easy to want to read scores of other books or read about scores of other persons (bibliophiles). ( )

Alida Roochvarg had one of the most comprehensive books about books collections, six catalogues worth. When she acquired the last book she wanted for her collection, she saw no reason to continue collecting books about books and sold her collection. Personally, I will enjoy reading my books even after I stop collecting them.
