"Excellent . . . Tracks the history of that greatest of all cultural institutions." —The Washington Post Libraries are much more than mere collections of volumes. The best are magical, fabled places whose fame has become part of the cultural wealth they are designed to preserve. Some still exist today; some are lost, like those of Herculaneum and Alexandria; some have been sold or dispersed; and some never existed, such as those libraries imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien, Umberto Eco, and Jorge Luis Borges, among others. Ancient libraries, grand baroque libraries, scientific libraries, memorial libraries, personal libraries, clandestine libraries: Stuart Kells tells the stories of their creators, their prizes, their secrets, and their fate. To research this book, Kells traveled around the world with his young family like modern–day “Library Tourists.” Kells discovered that all the world’s libraries are connected in beautiful and complex ways, that in the history of libraries, fascinating patterns are created and repeated over centuries. More important, he learned that stories about libraries are stories about people, containing every possible human drama. The Library is a fascinating and engaging exploration of libraries as places of beauty and wonder. It’s a celebration of books as objects, a celebration of the anthropology and physicality of books and bookish space, and an account of the human side of these hallowed spaces by a leading and passionate bibliophile.

BOOK MARKS is an imaginative journey through artist Barbara Page's reading history, interwoven with memories prompted by the hundreds of titles depicted. At the heart of the book are over 430 artworks on repurposed library checkout cards, part of an ongoing art project housed in an antique two-drawer library case. Each richly illustrated "book mark" represents a title that has left an imprint on Page's life. Arranged chronologically in the order the books were read, the sections of plates correspond to the stages of her life undertaken in the individual chapters-child, young housewife, pilot, artist, widow, and traveler. The added layer of the author's personal history-sometimes whimsical, often fragmented-illuminates how the "mark" left by a book is anchored not only to its contents, but also to the memories associated with it, whether a hike guided by Alfred Wainright through England's Nannycatch Valley or a drive to Boston listening to Tuesdays with Morrie. A bibliophile's delight that will touch and inspire readers of any genre! Includes a complete bibliographic list of 434 titles-fiction, science, art, gardening, travel, history, biography, aviation, ecology, children's literature, and more-plus trivia on their publishing history; author and title indices for easy cross reference; and bound with two ribbon bookmarks, so readers can simultaneously mark their place in the plate section and corresponding page in the chapter.
