The Memory Palace
An illustrated history of private libraries and the people who build them
An intimate history of the private library — from chained monastic shelves to the glass-walled studies of the present day. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of the world's most beautiful reading rooms, and written with the pace of a good story rather than a lecture.
- Oversized format, 240 colour photographs
- Cloth over boards with debossed title
- 336 pages on matte art paper
