"Will always hold an honorable place for bibliophiles." -- The University of Chicago PressOne of the earliest treatises on the value of preserving neglected manuscripts, building a library, and book collecting, Richard De Bury's The Philobiblon was written in 1345 and circulated widely in manuscript form for over a century. The first printed edition appeared in Cologne in 1473, and several others soon followed as the invention of the printing press spread throughout the late Medieval world. The chapter titles of this legendary work reflect its nature, combining the author's love for and commitment to the importance of books and the knowledge they contain with thoughts on collecting them, lending them, teaching with them, and simply enjoying them: "That the Treasure of Wisdom is chiefly contained in books," "What we are to think of the price in the buying of books," "Who ought to be special lovers of books," and "Of the manner of lending all our books to students." The Prologue ends with the following thought:
"And this treatise (divided into twenty chapters) will clear the love we have had for books from the charge of excess, will expound the purpose of our intense devotion, and will narrate more clearly than light all the circumstances of our undertaking. And because it principally treats of the love of books, we have chose after the fashion of the ancient Romans fondly to name it by a Greek word, Philobiblon."
This volume offers modern bibliophiles a splendid edition of one of the first books ever to study, define, and, above all, praise their passion: the all-encompassing love of books.

This was PERFECT for our son's Candy Cane Day at school. It fit well and was well made. It fit him TTS and was soft to the touch. The colors were vibrant and the style was classic. This was a solid purchase that was well priced and just what we needed!

Such a cute shirt
Size: 3, Color: Multicolor - Long Sleeve
Amazing shirt honestly such good quality. Got it for my 2yo's Halloween costume but he wears it on the daily and it's held up quite well. The colors are bright and don't bleed in the wash.

Perfect Pugsley Shirt!!!
Size: 6, Color: Black and White - Short Sleeve, Size: 6, Color: Black and White - Short Sleeve
I am that mom that makes her family dress up as a group for Halloween. I let my kids pick their own outfits for school/day, but at night we dress up as a family. Every year I pick a different group outfit, this year it's Adam's Family.
My son is 4 years old and in a 5T (he's big for his age). I would say the shirt fits like a 5-6 but may be snug if your little one is on the verge of size 7. I decided to size up since there wasn't a 5T option and glad I did!
The material isn't thick but not super thin either, the thickness of a standard cotton tee. The white stripes are not see through. The shirt is a perfect match for the Pugsley costume. I'm so glad i purchased this vs the entire costume since my son has black shorts. My son said it was comfortable.
