- tokai 5y agoIts great, can highly recommend. You should pick it up. Its encyclopedic and you're not loosing anything by not reading all of it. You can even shop around in the chapters you find interesting.
- semidetached 5y agoA not unrelated barrel of fun is Holbrook Jackson's "Anatomy of Bibliomania".
- billfruit 5y agoMontaigne could be a similar choice. Perhaps Thuanus also.
