The Bookseller's Tale Suclass Code_11AO This isn't a mess that

This isn't a mess that can be easily cleaned up

Lucy quickly accepts the challenge

Through a collection of memories retold in glorious colour

and schools of thought

happiness and hopes of mothers and their sons

The Bookseller's Tale Suclass Code_11AO This isn't a mess thatThis is the story of our love affair with books, whether we arrange them on our shelves, inhale their smell, scrawl in their margins or just curl up with them in bed. Taking us on a journey through comfort reads, street book stalls, mythical libraries, itinerant pedlars, radical pamphleteers, extraordinary bookshop customers and fanatical collectors, Canterbury bookseller Martin Latham uncovers the curious history of our book obsession and his own.
