A wonderful, eccentric love letter to books and the people who love them. Oliver brings the strange world he inhabits to life with affection and amusement. A must read for anyone who has ever lost a few hours in a second hand bookshop or been tutted at by a strangely dressed proprietor for mishandling something. He has opened the doors on a world of the beautiful and the rare, and done so with aplomb. -- Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, bestselling author of <i>A Field Guide to the English Clergy</i>

Every page is a pleasure. -- Lindsey Fitzharris, bestselling author of <i>The Facemaker</i> A wonderful, eccentric love letter to books and the people who love them... A must read for anyone who has ever lost a few hours in a second hand bookshop or been tutted at by a strangely dressed proprietor. -- Fergus Butler-Gallie, bestselling author of <i>A Field Guide to the English Clergy</i> Utterly charming -- Tom Holland, bestselling author of <i>Dominion</i>
