A wonderful book for any booklover! It captures in words those feelings of our childhood books, those book orders from the Weekly Reader, that first novel that opened a new world and the wonder of browsing the shelves for hours to find a treasured book. It educates on the history of booksellers going back to a time when the only books were hand written and accessible by a privileged few and bringing us forward to modern bookstores and the internet. The journey is such a pleasure, the things we learn along the way are just a byproduct.
