This 1922 collection—dedicated to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt, “a man of action in love with books”—is a sort of literary and bibliographic autobiography, tracing the origins of the author’s love of reading and books, as well as giving a number of sharp critical judgments of such authors as Twain, Dickens, and Thackeray.
