The first printed edition appeared in Cologne in 1473, and several others soon followed as the invention of the printing press
"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.

Best pillows
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
These are always the best pillows to buy! Soft and comfortable. They are a great buy for the price. I wish the material was more organic but that’s okay they are still nice.

Very comfortable and soft
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors, Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
They are exactly what I expected. Fluffy, comfortable, and the size is perfect. They arrived quickly and were well-packaged. For the price, I doubt you’ll find anything better; I sleep much better now, and they really help me relax. Honestly, I love them—I highly recommend them for a good night's rest.

Soft, Fluffy & Decently Supportive
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
These pillows are wonderfully soft and fluffy, making them great to sleep on.
They hold their shape well, especially if you get the version with a protective cover.
Comfort is good, and they moderately stay supportive through the night.
Overall, a great pillow pick that works exactly as expected.

Too firm
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
Too firm. Seems like there is too much filling inside the pillow. You can’t fold it in half or burrow into it. Otherwise the quality is quite good.
