Description: | Select Guide Rating A look at the culture and fanaticism of book lovers, from beloved New York Times illustrator Grant Snider It’s no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer-artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, and the love of writing and reading, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics. With a striking package including a die-cut cover, I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf is the perfect gift for bookworms of all ages.

"This is a delightful and humorous collection of comics about the joys of being a book lover, from collecting large amounts of books to (sometimes) getting around to reading them.”—Book Riot “With I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf, Snider—an artist, writer and orthodontist—has gathered up a decade’s worth of his comics for boisterous bookworms into one convenient volume. Snider’s thoughtful cartoons for bibliophiles also reveal he’s a well-rounded reader himself.” —New York Times Book Review “I confess: I’m in love with books. I read in social situations. I will use anything as a bookmark. I confuse fiction with reality. I am wanted for unpaid library fines. I steal books from my children. I like my realism with a little bit of magic. I like to sniff old books.” |
