Happy Wednesday! Just read Ross King's, The Bookseller of Florence: Vespasiano da Bisticci and the Manuscripts that illuminated the Renaissance. Picked it up in an airport kiosk and was hooked. Pitched perfectly in the sweet spot between deep scholarly work and pop history (IMHO). For anyone who loves books about books.
