... this [book] can be displayed on a coffee table as a conversation starter or in a home library as a memento. No matter how it's used, the reader is bound to gain knowledge, tips, and insight into curating their own collection of books that inspire them. --Melissa Graham BobVila.com (10/25/2021 12:00:00 AM) This book, from Thatcher Wine, CEO and founder of Juniper Books, is perfect for a coffee table--or a home library. The print-obsessed Wine created the text out of his personal love for thoughtfully curated personal libraries and book design. Packed with tips and personal anecdotes, this book is a fun (and meta) read for someone hoping to incorporate a book just like this one into their living space.--Evan Nicole Brown Fast Company (11/22/2019 12:00:00 AM)
