For those who know me, my interest in books is apparent. My interest in books on books is also somewhat well known. My collection of books includes at least a dozen books on books, so when Matthew Battles new book came out, I purchased a copy. Several chapters in, I am enjoying myself, and not enjoying the length of the chapters, which are relatively long for such a short work. Battles position in Harvard's rare books library gives him an unusual perspective, and unique access to material. Added to that a true literary talent and Library: an unquiet history, becomes a highly enjoyable work.
