Description
A joy. This book tells the story of our love affair with books, from arranging them on shelves to curling up with them in bed. It's a tale of comfort reads, street book stalls, mythical libraries, and the people who make it all possible. Canterbury bookseller Martin Latham shares his own journey through the world of bookselling, uncovering the curious history of our book obsession. Part cultural history, part literary love letter, and part reluctant memoir, this book is a treasure trove of stories about books, bookshops, and the people who love them. If you enjoy browsing through bookshops or simply appreciate the joy of reading, you'll find much to love in this book.
