Zusammenfassung
Richly illustrated with manuscripts, printed objects, and art works, Bibliophobia tells a 5000-year history of writing and of books to give readers a fascinating account of why books matter and how they impact on our lives. Bibliophobia is the most stimulating book I've read about how we can account for this twin sense of loss and presence.
