Books - A Manifesto

Or, How to Build a Library
A manifesto for the importance of books and a guide to expanding your reading horizons by the much-loved writer, critic, poet and translator who has read it all

'Alluring' DEBORAH LEVY
'Powerful' SUNDAY TIMES
'Sharp and political' LUCY CALDWELL
'Marvellous and timely' STEPHEN FRY

This is a book about books, about the subversive power of reading and the strange, enduring magic of books as objects. Wise, irreverent and exhilaratingly wide-ranging, Books: A Manifesto is an invitation to a deeper, richer world of thought and feeling - and a reminder of just how much books matter.

'Just what I needed. Passionate, erudite but accessible, it will send you rushing back to your bookshelves' DAVID NICHOLLS
