Bookaneering
We have the good offices of Ms. Jocelyn Wilk of the Columbia University Archives to thank for a new – yet over 8 decades old – batch of Barzun. She disproved (with alacrity) Barzun’s assertion that “Bookaneering” is among those essays “destined to irretrievable oblivion”. Three cheers for Jocelyn and Columbia!
The first item is the oldest, a light essay from The Columbia Varsity: “Bookaneering”
