Canterbury bookseller Martin Latham takes us on a journey through comfort reads, street bookstalls, mythical libraries, itinerant pedlars, radical pamphleteers, extraordinary bookshop customers and fanatical collectors, uncovering the curious history of our book obsession along the way.
This is the story of our love affair with books, whether we arrange them on our shelves, inhale their smell, scrawl in their margins or just curl up with them in bed – part cultural history, part literary love letter and part reluctant memoir.
