The Bookseller of Florence: The Story of the Manuscripts That Illuminated the Renaissance by Ross King
4.0
Don't recommend the audiobook - the narrator is flat and almost monotone. I can't imagine anyone listening at 1.0 speed, I barely was able to stay awake for his narration at 1.75 speed. Please, publishers/author - redo this audiobook with the awesome Edoardo Ballerini.
But for history buffs, book lovers, and library lovers this book will be fascinating on so many levels. There are some rabbit trails that will be explored, such as the sex lives of monks and nuns but it all comes back to the point of how very lucky we are to have any books from the past.
