I love this book so much! Any bibliophile will enjoy seeing what can be done when you put your imagination to extremes. Beautifully illustrated. Each picture is an example of book-lovers showing off their stuff. I love flipping through this book like other people enjoy window-shopping catalogs.

Much better than the other books from the library on the same subjuct. A couple of good ideas, but still not fabulous.
