Books about books hold deep pleasures—of recognition and discovery—and they offer avid readers and those who spend their working lives in the grand company of books the chance to compare notes. Ranging from a tender book-infused goodbye to the quirky joys of running a small, independent bookshop, these titles give readers a chance to read about reading.
