The Librarian’s Book of Quotes

"I have always imagined that paradise will be some kind of library;" this line from a poem by Jorge Luis Borges is among the approximately 450 quotations about libraries and librarians compiled here by Eckstrand (library science, U. of Buffalo, New York). Simple illustrations displayed on sepia-tinted pages accompany the quotes. Each quotation cites the original source, and a biographical dictionary is offered in the concluding pages.
