“A book about the love of reading and books. Filled with essays, poems and book photography. It was a short but pleasant reading experience.”

“Beautiful images. Fantastic quotes. I felt like all book lovers were finally seen by this art book. Yes there’s not a lot of “reading” to it, but it’s still a look into the hearts and minds of readers all over the world.”

“This book was very insightful and had lots and lots of information, tips, and tricks jam-packed into 98 pages (Kindle version). So it was a great book as far as the contents, it was just a little hard to read for me. But aside from that, this book taught me that it's okay to quit reading a book, how to enjoy reading even more, etc. Overall a good book.”
