A Book of Books

One of my Xmas presents from my parents-in-law was Tolkien's Gown by Rick Gekoski. It's a book based on his Radio 4 series Rare Books, Rare People (as it proclaims on the back cover) and is about twenty twentieth century books. I found it an entertaining read, particularly as I had never really thought about books (and, thus, rare and signed first editions) from the dealer's viewpoint.

( Sort-of spoilers (well, quotes anyway) )

Anyway, recommended if you're interested in some of the history behind those twenty books / authors.
