This librarian is vengeful that there wasn’t much about libraries or librarians at all…jk, but some strips went over my head, so I don’t think I’ve read enough classic literature to get them all. Some elicited a decent “hah” or “hah!,” and Gauld is definitely creative. I think writers would appreciate this book of cartoons more, and I’ll be recommending it to my dry-humored writer friend!

Cute little one-page comic strips that relate to books, libraries, writing, etc. 
Some are very funny, some miss the mark. Feels like reading a few months of a newspaper strip like Far Side. The art style is cohesive, simple and very legible.

This book took me by surprise-in the best of ways! Smart, sarcastic, funny….if you are a lover of books you will love this graphic novel. Actually I am not sure if novel is the right term….it is a series of vignettes that address the frustrations of writers, the maddening communication with publishers, the passion of readers all in humorous small bites with charming, simple drawings. I laughed as so many of the drawings and could personally relate to all of them. This is an original book and would be a great gift to the book lover in your life!

Thanks to Net Galley for this ARC
