The Library by Stuart Kells

I took another break from blogging, for reasons that are not entirely clear. Perhaps it was to focus on reading more books.

Which gets me to the point of books on books.

Check out The Library by Stuart Kells, wherein the writer cleverly weaves stories and reflections on libraries (past and present), book printing, binding, collecting, censorship (burning) and cataloging.  

Books come and go, some are preserved, many are lost, some are read, others are simply admired, all are part of the rich cultural fabric of human ingenuity, reflection and creativity.

This book on books is a masterful summary of books and library, a true catalog of wonders.
