'The Library' by Andrew Lang is a late 19th-century guidebook published as part of the "Art as Home" series. Continuing the tradition of Richard de Bury's The Philobiblon and Thomas Dibdin's Bibliomania, The Library is a half-serious look at the craft of book-collecting for the amateur bibliophile. Lang begins with Dibdin's quote that, 'All men like to be their own librarians" and offers great insight as to how men may go about setting up a library at home.
