This is a valuable and wide-ranging collection of essays which provides fascinating new insights into the topic of reading within fiction. I would recommend this book to literary scholars and historians of reading; it will be of interest to both for the new light it sheds on books, readers and libraries in fiction. —Katherine Halsey, Professor of English Studies, University of Stirling
