Publisher's Note:

...a celebration of thirty stories in which the protagonists are books -- books from the sixteenth through the twentieth centuries. Their dramatic experiences, their origins and destinies, shape the events in a series of narratives whose cast of characters includes Shakespeare, Descartes, Shelley, Poe, George Eliot, and many others.... The fates of some thirty books are traced and reanimated in suspenseful sequence. A must read for any bibliophile!
