The Secret Life of Books: Why They Mean More Than Words

by Tom Mole

We love books. We take them to bed with us. We display them on our bookshelves. We write our names in them. They weigh down our suitcases when we go on holiday. We take them for granted. But there's much more to them than meets the eye.; From how books feel and smell, to burned books, banned books and books that create nations, The Secret Life of Books is about everything beyond the words on a page.

It's about how books - and readers - have evolved over time. And about how books still have the power to change our lives.

240 pages.
