'A perfect book for anyone who is passionate about books.'
Cormac Kinsella, Irish Times

'One of the most delightful volumes to have come across my desk in a long while, a book of essays in celebration of bibliophilia that will appeal to anyone who's ever rootled about in a secondhand bookshop and who loves books.'
Robert McCrum, Observer

'It contains so much... that one stays awake until the early hours - minutes at a time spent not in reading but in looking up from the pages to savour Anne Fadiman's adroit take upon the many peculiar obsessions which books can cause in the most level-headed of people.'
Christopher Hawtree, Spectator

Industry Reviews

A confessional from the daughter of a pathologically literary family, once reduced to poring over a 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because she'd read everything else at home at least twice. Essential reading for the serious book-lover. (Kirkus UK)
