Publisher's description:

Illuminating the mysteries of libraries, the author ponders the doomed library of Alexandria as well as the personal libraries of Charles Dickens and Jorge Luis Borges. He recounts stories of people who have struggled against tyranny to preserve freedom of thought - the Afghani bookseller who kept his store open through decades of unrest.
