Post-op: Rare Books Uncovered
Well, Rare Books Uncovered has been out in the world for about six weeks now–the publicity shelf life for most new books–so I’m sharing here a selection of reviews and interviews. I feel pretty lucky that my little book for bibliophiles garnered as much positive interest as it did. (And Michael Dirda read it! And liked it!)
