Recenzii
"Erudite and altogether fascinating. . . In the year of Frankenstein's bicentennial, this is essential reading."
"A gloriously meandering journey. . . It is like no conventional exhibition catalogue."
"Wessells is fascinated not only by books as objects, but by their contents as well: he's widely and deeply read in the field, and his 'conversations' with these books feel exactly like that."
