This fascinating book is both a history of a beloved institution and the incendiary true story of one the biggest library fires in history – and the man accused of lighting it. If you are even the slightest bit fond of books and libraries, Susan Orlean’s joy in discovering the ins-and-outs of the LA Public Library today and the colourful characters and episodes that populate its past, will be utterly contagious. A must-read for book lovers.
