An interesting concept and way to talk about books

"Though a technical person, I love physical books so I was intrigued when I saw Bibliophile as part of a display at Barnes & Noble about...well...books. I thought the concept of a collection of illustrations about books with snippets about them and various other literary topics such as bookstores and libraries worked very well. It's not the kind of book you sit down and read for an extended period, though you could if you wanted. It's also not a coffee table book in my opinion. It falls somewhere in between; I would read a few pages here and there, enjoying the book covers, some of which I recognized and others I did not. I even learned of a few books I would like to read! There are some places where the book seems a little "woke" in how it treats certain books and topics, but it is not in your face about it. However, her sequel appears that it will go more in that direction so I will end my reading of this series here with good feelings about Bibliophile"

Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany by Jane Mount is a beautifu . . .

"Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany by Jane Mount is a beautifully crafted and charming tribute to the printed book as both a physical object and an enduring cultural contribution. Mount’s delightful illustrations fill every page and are inspired by her prior experience as an artist painting clients’ “Ideal Bookshelves. ” This book provides informative and entertaining descriptions of a wide variety of titles, with chapters organized by familiar genres or quirky subjects (e. g. : “Unhappy Families Each in Their Own Way”). Bibliophile focuses primarily on fiction, but some popular nonfiction categories are also presented. Interspersed throughout the book are profiles on bookstores and libraries throughout the world known for their interesting origins, architecture or collections. Author profiles and depictions of their writing spaces give insight into the creative surroundings and inspirations of well-loved classics. Mount steps aside to give plenty of space to include recommendations by other book experts such as librarians, booksellers, editors, and artists. Packed with the advertised “miscellany,” fun trivia and quizzes, this homage would make a wonderful addition to any book aficionado’s shelves, and a great gift for those who still revere the look and feel of this timeless media."
