“Open this book and read at random anywhere, anywhere at all, and every sentence is utterly captivating: it is a book, about books, and it is probably the most compulsive text ever penned about what it means to handle and possess a book.   Possess it and read it; and then keep it and shelve it and show it and share it and even wear it out, but let it live as a book.”

Christopher de Hamel, author of Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts
