Bound to Last: 30 Writers on Their Most Cherished Book

An eclectic collection chosen by authors such as Anthony Doerr, Philipp Meyer and Karen Joy Fowler. With a Foreword by Ray Bradbury.
"An array of writers come to the passionate defense of the printed book with spirited, never-before-published essays celebrating the hardcover or paperback that matters most to them-not necessarily because of its content, but because of the significance it holds for them as a one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable object."
