Title: Love books?
Product review: I still have not been able to read A Gentle Madness, but from previous reviews, I can get the sense that there is a similar theme to this one.As for Patience and Fortitude--for any book lover, you immediately become overwhelmed by Basbanes' and his interviewees' passion for books. Moreover, the more you read about some of the great collections covered in this book, the more you want to see for yourself. For me, the most intriguing element of the book was the section on the long forgotten libraries of Mt Athos, some of which maintain extensive collections from Byzantium.I was equally interested to read how the major libraries of the world assemble collections, and attempt to maintain them, while filling the need for more computer savvy customers.I hope to read the other books by Basbanes, but if this is the standard for the others, I am sure they will be equally as enjoyable.
