Editions and Impressions: Twenty Years on the Book Beat

Collects thirty-three of the author's articles grouped into three sections - Book Culture; People; and, Places. This title includes the essays that include an endnote, telling the behind-the-scenes story about the article. One critic has written:- This collection of articles from Basbane's columns in BIBLIO and FINE BOOKS & COLLECTIBLES and other sources is an okay read, but not as in depth or detailed as his previous 4 books. A good read for bibliophiles, but its constant referencing back to A GENTLE MADNESS (his 1st and best book) is slighly irritating after a while, as this book becomes more of a sales pitch for those who missed that book 15 years ago.
