位于美国丹佛市的Hermiage书店,开于1973年。专营艺术,旅游画册,童书,军事历史,美国西部史研究书籍,各类首版绝版书,及早期西方印刷艺术书籍收藏,这家书店同时也是美国书商协会的成员。书店开业37年以来,因其丰富的藏书量和博学专业的书店店员而得到大家的喜爱和尊重。
从书店网站上获知这家书店对yellowbacks(黄背书)类书本的收藏热,也是Hermiage Bookshop的一大特色。
什么是yellowbacks?
Originally published as inexpensive books to be sold in railway book stalls, Yellowbacks represent a major cultural window through which we can view Victorian England. Although their bibliographic importance has been recognized since 1938, until now there has been no systematic study of these books which, in many cases, represent the true first edition of an author’s work.
最初来源于摆设于英国铁路边缘的小书摊,贩卖的一些以娱乐为主的非常便宜的旅游,休闲小说读物,这类小说被称为可爱的“芥末泥”小说。作为一种流行于19世纪中期的文化现象,黄背书是读者了解维多利亚时期的英国文化的一个重要窗口。
Dr. Chester W. Topp has spent 30 years compiling the definitive bibliography of over 20 publishers of Victorian Yellowbacks and paperbacks. This study is based on his own extensive library of 1,700 Yellowbacks and 1,900 19th century paperbacks and an exhaustive search of every major trade and literary journal of the last century.
These beautiful hardback books are printed on acid-free paper and come complete with dust jackets and color sections showing important or representative books.
这些古朴精美的图书采用无酸性环保纸印刷,轻便干净。
