Summary "Bouquiniana: notes et notules d'un bibliologue" by Bernard Henri Gausseron is a collection of reflections and notes on the subject of books and bibliophilia written in the early 20th century. The work explores the profound love and diverse opinions people hold towards books, encapsulating anecdotes, maxims, and philosophical musings. Gausseron aims to create a nucleus of thoughts that can inspire book lovers and bibliophiles to share their experiences and sentiments regarding literature. The opening portion of "Bouquiniana" introduces the author's intention to fill a gap in the vast collection of written thoughts about books and their significance. Gausseron shares snippets of wisdom from various authors, emphasizing the timelessness of books as both cherished companions and objects of contemplation. He reflects on the different attitudes individuals have towards reading and books, discussing the dual nature of admiration and critique that books often inspire, and sets the tone for a more extensive examination of bibliophilia as a delightful yet complex passion.
