Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Every shelf is different
and every bookshelf tells a different story. One bookshelf can
creak with character in a bohemian coffee shop and another can
groan with gravitas in the Library of Congress. Writer and
historian Lydia Pyne finds bookshelves to be holders not just of
books but of so many other things: values, vibes, and verbs that
can be contained and displayed in the buildings and rooms of
contemporary human existence. With a shrewd eye toward this
particular moment in the history of books, Pyne takes the reader on
a tour of the bookshelf that leads critically to this juncture:
amid rumors of the death of book culture, why is the life of the
bookshelf in full bloom? Object Lessons is published in partnership
with an essay series in The Atlantic.
