For the Love of Books : For the Love of Books
ISBN: 9781423652151
Publication Date: 3 September 2019

A celebration of the meaning and comfort printed books bring to our homes and lives, from the curation and design experts at Juniper Books.

For the Love of Books shares the vision of Juniper Books, a business that embraces the roles that books fulfil in our lives and their staying power. It recounts the history of books and private libraries, and champions the resilience of books in the digital era. Dive into the nuances that define books for reading, books for decoration, and books for inspiration. Instructive chapters provide useful details for creating and curating one's own home library, whether it be a single shelf or multiple rooms each with their own collection. You will never look at your bookshelves the same way again.

For the Love of Books is about storytelling beyond the pages of our favourite books. Our books - the ones we choose to keep - tell the story of who we are. They remind us who we once were and who we aspire to be.
