旧金山猎书留踪(下)

2016-07-03 11:34:04   

四、Thomas Frognall Dibdin,The Bibliographical Decameron, London:Shakespeare Press,1817。初版。三卷本。一四九五页。印八百五十部。此三卷本《书国十日谈》,原浅褐色全抛光牛犊皮(full polished calf)封面封底;花饰繁复烫金(richly gilt)的重装书脊(rebacked)。封二粘贴一帧John Rhodes的纹章图案藏书票。书中辑印珍稀铜镌版画、木刻版画近千幅。第一卷中,缺第九帧图版(Plate 9),因出版时该图版尚未落实。据称,编著者狄布丁为达制版的精良,排印此书花去两千多英镑。这样的投入,放在今天,也算是个不小的追求,何况那是近两百年前。作为“书目志学大经典”的这部著作和他另外一部声名赫赫的《爱书狂》(Bibliomania),因其自身图文版式之考究、辑存的书志学材料之丰富、选入的古书印籍图版之珍稀,始终是爱书者架上必备的“标准参考书”。字型、版式狂热的爱好者向来将其奉为版式艺术品位的圭臬。

五、John Windle and Karma Pippin,Thomas Frognall Dibdin(1776-1847):A Bibliography, Oak Knoll Press, 1999。初版。二八五页。蓝色布面精装。书封烫金压印狄布丁1829年头戴绅士帽、身穿大礼服的侧身剪影。书脊烫金印书名和出版者标识。此书著者之一John Windle竟是这家书店的经营者。不可思议的巧合。知我集藏狄布丁多年,专研狄布丁的 John Windle亦如他乡遇故知般签名题赠,送给我他这部专著:“For Victor Wang: John Windle with best wishes. San Francisco Sept. 25, 2012.”何曾想到,搜求狄布丁经年,在此终获可靠“地图”矣。

“书话百科全书”《解剖爱书狂》(The Anatomy of Bibliomania)的作者、英国文人霍布鲁克·杰克森(Holbrook Jackson)对狄布丁的概括言简意赅, 不失公允:“十九世纪前二三十年间 (按:这二三十年里,书癖圈对书籍精良印装的热衷,达到狂热的峰巅),有那么一类显贵的学究和书癖,这类人如今几近绝迹,他们对狄布丁一册册华美书卷趋之若鹜、志在必得,虽然作者的学养和他著述的内在价值常遭同辈人质疑。Alexander Dyce就挖苦他 ‘是个无知的花架子,不学无术,连学堂童稚的学问都强过他。他出版的书,数量可观,却充斥着各式各样错谬’……这样的成见依然为人乐道,尤其是那些从来都懒得读他的人。这些成见不是完全没有道理。他不是科学意义上的书志学家;他成书时的社会风气并不追求精准无误。但换个角度说,如果想具体了解书籍庋藏几个高贵时代其中的这一时代,了解它的特质与范围,我们必须回到狄布丁。就为了这一点,他的著述永远不会被人彻底遗忘。虽然他散文的遣词筑句华丽绮靡,然而他写出的最扎实的著作,如《爱书狂》(Bibliomania)、《书国十日谈》(The Bibliographical Decameron)和《法、德珍版书画记游》(Bibliographical, Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany)总会吸引这样的读者——他对集藏本身深感兴趣,如果碰巧又痴迷于版式排印,他会从这些书籍精美的设计与印刷中得到极大的喜悦。即令有一天狄布丁失去书志学先驱的地位,他也会牢牢守住书籍设计家与精美印刷灵感之源这把交椅。”

来加州自然得带回几本关于加州的书,尤其是关于加州葡萄酒的。否则,对不住这里开心笑容般灿烂的阳光,对不住欧文·斯通笔下加利福尼亚夜空那缀满葡萄般晶莹剔透、伸手即摘得下来的星星(skies so thick with stars you can reach up and pick them like bunches of grapes)。

一、Florence Wobber,Ballads of the Wine Mad Town,San Francisco:Sunset Publishing House, 1916。初版。九十八页。布面包纸板烫金精装。小开本。
