"The Enemies of Books" is a book written by William Blades, a 19th-century
bibliophile and book collector. It was first published in 1880 and has since
been republished in different editions. The book focuses on the preservation
of books and the dangers they face. Blades passionately criticizes
biblioclasts, both human and non-human, who mistreat books. The book covers
various enemies of books, including fire, water, gas and heat, dust and
neglect, ignorance and bigotry, bookworms, bookbinders, book collectors,
vermin, servants, and children. Blades concludes the book with a plea for
reverence towards old books, which he believed was lacking during his time.
Overall, the book serves as a call to protect and cherish literature from its
many threats.
