Review: On Books and the Housing of Them


On Books and the Housing of Them
On Books and the Housing of Them by William Ewart Gladstone

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Interesting essay on books and personal libraries by the Victorian British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), it’s easy to see that the man loved books. I also find interesting that the issue of copyright was a problem back then, something that still hasn’t been resolved to many people’s opinion a hundred years later. The essay also makes you more appreciative of ebooks, which take up just an atom or twos width.
