AuntieAnnie's "Books About Books"

Add to my lists | Print this list

This list is one I’ve always wanted to find, but I’ve never been able to find a really extensive list of this sort. I love books about books. It doesn’t matter if the books are fiction or nonfiction. I find books about reading, writing, collecting, libraries, books as a physical object, the history of books, and various other aspects of texts absolutly fasinating.

I will be adding to this list over time, because I’ve found (through loads of personal research) a ridiculous number of these sorts of books.
