balletbookworm 's review for:

Jane Austen's Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney
4.5
informative medium-paced

Look, the perfect intersection of my Austen reading and book collecting/love for books about books does not....

Oh. hello.

This is an excellent look inside rare book collecting - because sometimes it doesn't actually mean antiquarian - and personal projects, book love, redefining and rediscovering the canon, and reading. If you haven't heard of Rebecca Romney before, here you go. She also put together that banger romance collection that was bought by the Lilly Library at IU.
