Description - The Library: A Catalogue of Wonders by Stuart Kells

The Library- A Catalogue of Wonders is a love letter to libraries not just as mere collections of books, but as magical, fabled places.

Libraries are filled with magic. From the Bodleian, the Folger and the Smithsonian to the fabled libraries of middle earth, Umberto Eco's mediaeval library labyrinth and libraries dreamed up by John Donne, Jorge Luis Borges and Carlos Ruiz Zaf n, Stuart Kells explores the bookish places, real and fictitious, that continue to capture our imaginations.

The Library- A Catalogue of Wonders is a fascinating and engaging exploration of libraries as places of beauty and wonder. It's a celebration of books as objects and an account of the deeply personal nature of these hallowed spaces by one of Australia's leading bibliophiles.
