## Description

'Alluring' DEBORAH LEVY 'Powerful' SUNDAY TIMES 'Sharp and political' LUCY CALDWELL 'Marvellous and timely' STEPHEN FRY This is a book about books, about the subversive power of reading and the strange, enduring magic of books as objects. Wise, irreverent and exhilaratingly wide-ranging, Books: A Manifesto is an invitation to a deeper, richer world of thought and feeling - and a reminder of just how much books matter. 'Just what I needed. Passionate, erudite but accessible, it will send you rushing back to your bookshelves' DAVID NICHOLLS
