LibraryThing members' description |
 |
This book contains some of the best writing about reading, encompassing the 6,000-year recorded history of this oldest of media--books. I should note that its dust-jacket surpasses mere decoration: Remove it, flip it open, and there is a lovely timeline of the history of reading to post next to your reading chair. An absolutely delightful book and, not surprisingly, Very Highly Recommended. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 19 Nov 2007 03:58:11 -0500) (see all 2 descriptions) |
