River of Books: A Life in Reading

"With the infectious curiosity of an inveterate bibliophile and the prose of a fine stylist, Donna Seaman charts the course of her early reading years in a book-by-book chronicle of the significance books have held in her life. River of Books recounts Seaman's journey in becoming an editor for Booklist, a reviewer, author, and literary citizen, and lays bare how she nourished both body and soul in working with books." -From the back cover of River of Books by Donna Seaman
