Shannon's "Books About Books: A Reading List"

Add to my lists | Print this list

These are fictional books that are primarily about another book or contain a book within a book.

Note: With some exceptions, short story collections, young adult fiction, romances and mystery series have been eliminated if so identified. Also, I have striven to include high-quality books only.
