A SPECTATOR AND EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 'A joy. Each
chapter instantly became my favourite' David Mitchell, author of
Cloud Atlas 'Wonderful' Lucy Mangan 'The right book has a
neverendingness, and so does the right bookshop.' This is the story
of our love affair with books, whether we arrange them on our
shelves, inhale their smell, scrawl in their margins or just curl
up with them in bed. Taking us on a journey through comfort reads,
street book stalls, mythical libraries, itinerant pedlars, radical
pamphleteers, extraordinary bookshop customers and fanatical
collectors, Canterbury bookseller Martin Latham uncovers the
curious history of our book obsession - and his own. Part cultural
history, part literary love letter and part reluctant memoir, this
is the tale of one bookseller and many, many books. 'If ferreting
through bookshops is your idea of heaven, you'll get the same
pleasure from this treasure trove of a book' Jake Kerridge, Sunday
