Where do I start?
This was at times such a quirky, fun, irreverent look at the book world, along the way we take in books made of cheese, famous book trials for obscenity, book vandals, books as art, high brow literature and "trash" reads.
Even the format of books, mass market, hard book, their bindings, the history of printing all the way back to the Gutenberg Bible.
Then we have the more serious topics such as book burning by the Nazis and even modern book burning due to politics and proving points as to their content, troves of lost historical works and then the downright macabre with books bound in human skin.
Whatever your personal interest whether light hearted book facts or more weighty topics as regards the book world then this is definitely for you.
This is a Bibliohile's dream, basically a book all about books.
A wonderful gift for any bookworm.
