The Madman's Library: The Strangest Books, Manuscripts, and Other Literary Curiosities from History by Edward Brooke-Hitching

5.0

Anyone interested in the physical nature of books, as well as the contents, should love reading this volume on unusual books. The photographs are fantastically well done, which definitely enhance the text. My one quibble was that the body text was really small (maybe 8 point!) and the captions for the photos were even smaller! I ended up sitting by a window with direct sunlight (which is painful here in the tropics) plus an additional light from the side, to reduce the eyestrain.
Highly recommended for bibliophiles.
