About This Book

A series of personal essays by a devoted bibliophile exploring the pleasures, foibles, and habits of readers. The pieces range from autobiographical confessions and reflections on gardens and nature to meditations on books that tempt or captivate and sketches of literary personalities. Several essays celebrate second-hand book hunting, the aesthetics of bookplates, bedside reading, and the comfort of long-standing favourites treated as old friends. Other chapters examine how sentiment can colour perception, recount a reading pilgrimage, and offer farewell reflections on the relationship between books and life. Woven with anecdote, literary comment, and quiet humour, the essays portray bibliophilia as an intimate, everyday devotion.
