Review
“
Bibliophile is an illustrated celebration of all things book.” —
Bustle

“A compendium of odd literary information. Such as: Irma Rombauer wrote
The Joy of Cooking to get through a hard time after her husband’s suicide; the author of
Diary of a Wimpy Kid wanted to be an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; in a book cover design, Chip Kidd added an extra leg to the iconic Knopf borzoi and nobody noticed. Lavishly illustrated by Jane Mount, who loves painting books.” —

Canadian Living

“This quirky, whimsical and just plain fun ‘illustrated miscellany’ will be a welcome addition to any bookshelf—although it’s more likely to be
off the shelf, thumbed through and smiled at, as one says, ‘Oh, I need to read
that book!’ ” —
USA Today
