Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Lovers of the printed book, arise! Thirty of todayâs top writers are here to tell you youâre not alone.
Â
In Bound to Last,an amazing array of authors comes to the passionate defense of the printed book with spirited, never-before-published essays celebrating the hardcover or paperback they hold most dearânot necessarily because of its contents, but because of its significance as a one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable object. Whether focusing on the circumstances behind how a particular book was acquired, or how it has become forever âbound upâ with a specific person, time, or place, each piece collected here confirmsâpoignantly, delightfully, irrefutablyâthat every book tells a story far beyond the one found within its pages.
Â
