Nonfiction, Essays
Paperback book
Would it matter if no books existed? Would we be different without them? From the moment we step into a bookshop, to the closing of a books final page, a complex and mysterious process occurs. The future of the book may be equivocal but its continuing power is demonstrated here by fifteen contributors to this collection of essays who examine, play with, and question the role and fate of reading in an electronic age.
“Readers will encounter 15 fascinating and often provocative essays inspired by a desire to read and a love of books.” Colin Steele, The Canberra Times
“The 15 contributors are all long-time readers and variously include authors, publishers, editors and printers. Some are well known, others less so, but then this is part of the manifesto of the Finlay Lloyd Press to offer something more daring or intimate to an otherwise marketing driven book industry.” Karen Lamb, Weekend Australian
“…a quirk, finely produced homage to books and writing.” Australian Book Review
“This is a charming and interesting collection.” Sydney Morning Herald
