This was a birthday gift from my fellow book loving daughter and I absolutely loved it. Great book with fun illustrations, book lists, book recommendations, and bookstore and library shoutouts.

A must-have for the shelf of any book lover! I loved the concept, design, and content. Warning: it will give you WAY too many things to add to your "to be read" list...and get you excited to visit many different bookstores and libraries.

A must-read for book lovers

The book promises to add even more books to your list of ‘to read’ books. And it did. I counted at least 63 new books added to my Goodreads. And am sure I missed a few.

The illustrations are adorable. The stories about bookstores, writers and even writer pets are inspiring. And every time I thought to myself ‘what other categories or genres can this book recommend next? They must have run out by now’, I was delighted to find more.

Love love love love this.

The illustrations in this book are so beautiful. I just love to gaze at them, identifying which books I've read and which ones I want to read.

A beautiful compliment to your Goodreads account. I read a library copy, but I would love to eventually buy my own copy. Worth reading and viewing.

Cute illustrations, some books mentioned multiple times throughout the book.
Also... why would you feature the McNally Jackson store instead of the McNally Robinson store in Winnipeg, which has a spiral staircase leading to the glorious children's section overlooking the restaurant.

Content-wise, Bibliophile is almost redundant for the seasoned literary type. But the book is well designed, Mount’s illustrations are beautiful, and (when we can travel again) is a good guide to bookstores around the world. So pick up for that, or just gift it to your favorite serious reader-in-training.
