Interesting bedtime reading

A Booklover’s Companion is a lovely little book filled with anecdotes and excerpts about different aspects of books and reading.

Which booklover doesn’t delight in reading about bibliomania, bookshops, libraries, the sensual pleasures of reading or the habit of reading everywhere?

This one made for an afternoon of delightful reading and is a wonderful addition to this bibliomaniac’s collection of books about books!

No booklover could fail to enjoy a collection like this. An excellent assortment of what has been said and written, related to books, from the classical age to the present. This Folio Society publication incorporates many fine illustrations (major works of art) and selections of verse and prose.

Interesting and Fun. Highly recommended to anyone who loves books.
