The Bodleian Library produces beautiful and authoritative books which help to bring the riches of Oxford's libraries to readers around the world. They publish on a very wide range of subjects, including catalogues and other titles related to their exhibitions, illustrated and non-illustrated thematic works and facsimiles, gift books, and children's books and stationery.
'Fine thoughts and fine words make this a literary lucky dip with
passages to amuse and entertain, confirm prejudices or provoke
debate, all in good-natured, highly eloquent fashion.'
'“Does the book have a future" is a constant question, but 'The
Book Lovers' Anthology', subtitled 'A Companion of Writing about
Books, Readers and Libraries', has no doubts. The Bodleian
anthology . . . is a treasure trove of apt quotations from more
than 250 authors, such as Shakespeare, Swift and Ruskin, in
chapters covering "Literary Worlds", "The Joys of Reading" and "The
Library". The whole still resonates as "an essential anthology for
bibliophiles".'
