Portable Magic: A History of Books and their Readers by Emma Smith
4.0
Fascinating look at books as objects and their history. Told in thematic chapters, with some chronological order.
CW:
The chapter which includes discussion over human skin as book covers reminds me forcefully, of seeing a such a book. Aged 14, in Holocaust exhibition, held in the city's Jewish Centre. Horrific.
