Festschrift honouring the collector, patron of arts and founder of the Bibliotheca Wittockiana. This volume contains a large collection of articles on bibliophily, book collectors, early and contemporary bindings, the Livre d'artiste and the Livre-objet. It could be seen as an excellent illustration of Michel Wittock's personal views on "bibliophily", which are clearly not limited to bookbindings. His interpretation of bibliophily is characterized by public presentations and research into all aspects of antiquarian and contemporary books, such as paper, typography, illustration, books in contemporary art and book objects; his genuine interest in these related disciplines providing the driving force
