3.5 stars
For a relatively short book, there is a TON of information about the history of libraries between it's covers. This book was a mixed experience for me. At times it seemed as if he just listed library, dates and number of volumes in dry inventory. When discussing a specific bibliophile or even better, the history of a particular book in a library, is when the "wonder" of the libraries jumps off the page. Overall, I mostly enjoyed this book about books. I received a digital ARC of this book through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
