A interesting book based on the origins, history and our relationship with books. Whilst I did find the book interesting and found the author's writing to be accessible, it was not as engaging as I hoped it would be. The chapters and their content were interesting but it was not a page turner. Despite this, I did find it packed full of knowledge.
The book explores everything related to books, from their history to our relationship with them. This is a must read for anyone, well bibliophiles, interested in the origins and our connection with books, particularly non-fiction. The author does a good job of sharing her knowledge and love of books.
Whilst I read it from beginning to end, the thematic order of the book allows the reader to dip in and out and choose any random chapter. This is what will make it a good reference book as you do not have to read it cover to cover.
