The first thing I noticed about this book was the striking colours on the cover, the black background and the colours in the image immediately tells the reader that this book will be exciting.
This is a book about Books as objects not about the subjects written inside any particular book. Portable Magic is different from other books on this subject because there are no photographs or illustrations of any of the books mentioned , as there often are in other books of this genre. This is good because the reader has to concentrate on the text rather than just skimming through and looking at the pictures.
Portable Magic is made up of sixteen interesting chapters , each giving a description of different aspects of the enjoyment of book reading and collecting. These include the history of books, famous people who have collected books, how books are used in today`s society and lots more.
