Shadow Lines: Searching For the Book Beyond the Shelf

English

By (author): Nicholas Royle

Shadow Lines very much celebrates the world of books Telegraph

Nicholas Royles love of second-hand books and the inclusions he finds inside them, their presence betrayed by shadow lines, is about making connections. Someone has scribbled a number in a book? Hell text or call. An old address? Hell return the book to where it used to live. Follow him as he walks between bookshops, reading as he goes, on the hunt for treasure, for ways to make us feel closer to the books on our shelves, to each other and to our own lives.

Share in Royles enthusiasm for the Rev W Awdrys Railway Series, Penguin Modern Stories and Paul Austers cult classic, The New York Trilogy, as well as books in art and film.

The brilliant follow-up to the instant classic, White Spines.
