Secret Life of Books
We love books. They weigh down our suitcases when we go on vacation. We take them to bed with us.
We give them as gifts. We display them on our bookshelves or store them in our attics. We write our names in them.
We take them for granted. And all the time, our books are leading a double life. The Secret Life of Books is about everything that isn't just the words.
It's about how books transform us as individuals. It's about how books--and readers--have evolved over time. And it's about why, even with the arrival of other media, books still have the power to change our lives.
In this illuminating account, Tom Mole looks at everything from binding innovations to binding errors, to books defaced by lovers, to those imprisoning professors in their offices, to books in art, to burned books, to the books that create nations, to those we'll leave behind. It will change how you think
