Summary:
"Bibliophile is the ultimate book for book lovers. The content ranges from profiles of amazing independent bookstores around the world to the painted bookshelves for which Jane Mount has become known"-- Provided by publisher.

We all have a pile of "to be read" books, and Mount is determined to introduce you to more jewels you didn't know you needed to read: books that you will be hugging to your chest and telling everyone how they changed your life. But she provides more than a list of books: Mount introduces you to her favorite bookstores; her favorite non-author book people; an array of bookstore cats; her favorite "Books made into great TV" ... and so much more! -- adapted from introduction and back cover
