"Une bibliothèque" by Albert Cim is a practical guidebook on books and bibliophilia written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the art of acquiring, classifying, preserving, and utilizing books, catering to book lovers and the intellectually curious, particularly the youth, who seek a deeper appreciation for literature. The opening of the book introduces the author's intent to make this work accessible to those passionate about books, emphasizing that it is not just for bibliographers and scholars, but for anyone who wishes to understand the material aspects of books.
