Publisher Description

' very much celebrates the world of books' —

Nicholas Royle's love of second-hand books and the 'inclusions' he finds inside them, their presence betrayed by 'shadow lines', is about making connections. Someone has scribbled a number in a book? He'll text or call. An old address? He'll return the book to where it used to live. Follow him as he walks between bookshops, reading as he goes, on the hunt for treasure, for ways to make us feel closer – to the books on our shelves, to each other and to our own lives.

Share in Royle's enthusiasm for the Rev W Awdry's Railway Series, and Paul Auster's cult classic, , as well as books in art and film.

If you love books, bookshops and browsing, this is your perfect all-year gift – head to your happy place with a copy today! (Note: 'inclusions' not supplied.)
