and another read, another day…

Book review:

The Book Lovers’ Anthology:

A Compendium of Writing

about Books, Readers & Libraries

Oxford, UK: The Bodleian Library, 2014

344 pages

Are you dying to know what 201 authors who picked up a wide array of quills, pencils, and pens in the last 500 years had to say about books, readers, and libraries?

This anthology leaves out a few remarks, to be sure. I guess it’s fair to say there’s something for everyone.

You don’t have to be a book lover to soak up some of the joys that some of these authors tried to immortalize on paper.

You don’t have to be a book lover to imagine what else they might have said.

You can open The Book Lovers’ Anthology to a random page, and read for a while, and experience most of the good feeling that you’re going to get from opening to any random page.

You can leave a lot of it for another read, another day.
