We're open and we'd love to welcome you back

14 Upvotes

Hi, I have recently been granted stewardship of this subreddit. As it has been neglected for a few years now, and posting has been restricted, my first order of business has been to reopen it for discussion. For those of you who forgot this was even a subreddit you had joined, welcome back but I understand if it leads to mass unsubscribes!

I've given the subreddit a new lick of paint for now, with additional changes to be implemented in the coming weeks. I have no real plans other than to promote the joy of book collecting and discussions around obscure and unique editions, so let me know what you'd like to see from r/bibliophiles moving forward.

Searching for a book

1 Upvotes

Can anyone help me find a particular book? I've tried searching on my own. It's a cook book paperback that I picked up in 2011. It's a curry/soup book and it's short height wise, pink or pale blueish cover, many pages thick, wonderful photos. Thank you in advanced fellow book dragons and cooks/chefs.

as a bibliophile and constantly feeding yourselves with stories do you ever feel that you also want to know all the gossip going around just to enjoy it like you enjoy your books ?

Any tips on how to protect soft cover books?

7 Upvotes

You know the situation: you want to take a book to read somewhere other than home, but it's a soft cover. Damaging books hurts my heart, but spending more on sturdy books hurts my wallet. This takes aways some nice reading opportunities tho :/ Do you have ideas on how to gently carry soft covers?

Does the kind of book I'm looking for actually exist? How close can I get?

3 Upvotes

I may xpost this a few places, though I'm honestly not sure where it should go . . .

I'd like to find a volume or series that combines scientifically accurate combined anatomical/morphological botanical illustration with fairly comprehensive information in both general terms and from the perspective of growing, culinary, and medicinal uses. Does such a thing exist? Is there a currently accepted . . . canon, I suppose?

The actual practical information is readily available through a plethora of sources, so the root of this particular search is ultimately aesthetic. I want a cool book full of useful information and amazing, accurate illustrations.

Can anyone point me in a slightly less general direction than I've been headed thus far?

Does Anybody Else Remove the Dust Jacket From Their Books?

5 Upvotes

I can't be the only one who hates dealing with the dust jacket on a book. So easily destroyed, scuffed, bent, lost. I'd rather remove it from the get go. Anyways, my books look more fancy on my shelf without them haha
