Famed across the world, jealously guarded by private collectors, ornamented with frescoes or filled with children's drawings - the history of the library is varied and full of incident. From famous collections to the public resources of today, this book traces the rise and fall of fashions and reveals the crimes committed in pursuit of manuscripts. The extraordinary story of the library, from Alexandria to the age of Google.
