Recenzii
“Fascinating. . . . A valuable visual culture book that doubles as a travel resource.”
“Stunning.”
"Spirited."
“Beautifully depicts the fun side of libraries. . . . The photos in Improbable Libraries give a glimpse at a present, and hopefully a future, in which libraries remain at the heart of our shared literary culture.”
"Johnson, the son of librarians, is an exuberant guide."
“Improbable Libraries is definitely a labor of love for literature, and offers a global perspective on how essential access to books is in bringing communities vibrancy and education. It’s engaging to flip through the pages and discover unexpected projects. . . . While the DIY and individual-driven libraries Johnson highlights are inspiring, it’s also essential that he locates them in the contemporary context of why they are needed in places underserved or ignored by institutions.”
“Fascinating. . . . Underscores the importance of books, no matter where a reader lives.”
“This delightful book will give bibliophiles everywhere ideas for how to exhibit their collection as well as add some destinations to their bucket list. A great option for the children’s room, too.”
