The first edition of ‘De Bibliomaan’ was published by the recently established ‘Stichting Desiderata, society for book friends’. It concerns not only the translation of the famous story ‘Le Bibliomane’ by the French author Charles Nodier by Martin Hulsenboom, but the translation is supplemented with a biographical portrait of Nodier by Peter IJsenbrant, and a meticulous research into the background by Ed Schilders. The book is published by Desiderata in the best bibliophile tradition: very well cared for.
