Recs if you like The Book: A Cover-to-Cover Exploration of the Most Powerful Object of Our Time...

Niche nonfiction, aka micro-histories!

Nonfiction about the history, development, and impact of books, literature, storytelling, knowledge, reading, archives, information, and related subjects. Always open to suggestions!

books on books, writing, words, etc. fiction and non-fiction included

I love books that have some unique feature that is best enjoyed as a physical book, rather than e-book or audio. An example could be that it has footnotes, appendices, non-linear storytelling, or requires frequent flipping of pages.

In this digital age, it’s fun to find books where the physical book has an advantage. It’s also a factor I use when purchasing books at the bookstore.

Totally open to recommendations, as part of my reason for making this list is wanting to find more!

Books about one very specific thing throughout history (feel free to leave recs in the comments :) )
