Casanova Was a Book Lover: And Other Naked Truths and Provocative Curiosities About the Writing, Selling, and Reading of Books
John Maxwell Hamilton
In this irreverent analysis of the book industry, John Maxwell Hamilton argues that the best way to study books is not to take them too seriously. He provides a rich history of the book - from the days when monks laboriously hand-copied texts to the tidal wave of Titanic tie-ins - and gives a succinct overview of the state of the industry today.
