it is a great read for both a dip in and out, while also being a good read all the way through book, depending in how academic of a mood you are in. I would say that if you do not like academic books, then maybe this isn't the book for you, however if you do want some bookish facts to show off to your friends, then this is the book for you...
The writing style I would say is very accessible yet very thorough at times, making it different from many non-fiction books.The book is interspersed with historical references which real interest. It was interesting to read about the Rare book which disappeared, sadly along with its owner on the Titanic. Although quite an academic book I did find the historical references more relatable to me. I found it The chapter on censorship was apt as we are still having our reading matter censored in the 21st century.
