So Many Books: Reading and Publishing in an Age of Abundance by Gabriel Zaid, translated by Natasha Wimmer

Finished reading So Many Books: Reading and Publishing in an Age of Abundance by Gabriel Zaid, translated by Natasha Wimmer.

I put the book on reserve at the library, but forgot about it. Actually, I don't remember reserving it, but I read it anyway, and enjoyed it very much. It is a love letter to books, publishing and reading. Jay McCarthy has notes and a review of the book, which I sent him as a gift. I subsequently wrote a review of the book.
