Only Books by Tom Moore Publisher: Shanghai Culture Publishing House

Introduction · · · · · ·
People who read books will disappear, but books will live on with their memories.

Bookmarks, bookplates, book binding; second-hand books, private collections, special editions, abandoned books; libraries, bookstores, book fairs, book clubs...

As an object, books are far more than just carrying content. Our encounters with books give rise to a series of stories. From ancient papyrus to today's e-readers, from the paper and smell of books to the memories and emotions they carry, Tom Moore, a member of the Royal Historical Society and a senior bookworm, tells everything about books. To this day, books still have the power to change our lives.

【Editor's recommendation】

📚A true treasure that book lovers should not miss, about reading, book collecting and everything related to books, telling the history and future of books from a new perspective.

📚Stories of writers, book collectors and ordinary readers throughout the ages, telling the encounters between people and books: strange objects hidden in second-hand books, secret reading clubs formed by young women in the 18th century, the book that Keats used to convey his love before his death, countless stories witness the wonderful interaction between people and books.

📚Listen to the most knowledgeable professor chatting about his major. A book is an open class at a prestigious university: Tom Moore, a member of the Royal Historical Society of the United Kingdom, has taught at many world-renowned universities. He puts his profound knowledge into words, citing a wide range of sources and listing them like the back of his hand.

📚Refuse to show off your knowledge, intensive knowledge points + podcast-style easy reading: 8 major themes, 8 wonderful outputs, current publishing hot words + professional knowledge + industry gossip, interesting and knowledgeable.

📚A favorite recommendation from a British writer, publisher, and veteran bookworm: "Only Books" changed the way I look at a book (Jon Cotner Grimwood, a famous British science fiction writer).
