Title: Reading Vignettes
Product review: Alberto Manguel spent a good deal of time "crossing his t's and dotting his i's" in this book. The research is solid, and serves well as a spring board into the deeper book history and history of scholarship. The chapters are stand-alone vignettes, not necessarily following a choronological model throughout the book.Manguel also ventures into auxiliary areas of interest, like the history of eyeglasses, and history of printing. _The History of Reading_ was a real joy to read.
