It is William Blades\u2019 The Enemies of Books, first published in 1880. The frontispiece is an engraving of John Bagford, described as \u2018shoemaker and biblioclast,\u2019 and another of the delightful pictures is of a furtive charwoman feeding pages of a Caxton Bible to feed a fire. The enemies of books are ranged in chapters in a great chain of being: first come inanimate forces such as fire and water, rising to the lower animals such as bookworms and other vermin, and finally rising to the pinnacle of biblioclasm, that is to say the conscious book-destroyers, the bookbinders and book collectors. (John Bagford tore out the first pages of hundreds of rare volumes and bound them into a single folio volume, which is now in the British Library.) &#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\">          <span>tags:<\/span>                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/books\">books<\/a>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/libraries\">libraries<\/a>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/of_interest\">of_interest<\/a>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/witchyrichy\/biblioclasm\">biblioclasm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href='https:\/\/www.diigo.com'>Diigo<\/a>.
