46. Love letters to books: nonfiction books about the reading life

Readers, today's episode is inspired by Helene Hanff's love of books, nonfiction, and observation. We're sharing a bunch of nonfiction books about books, reading, and readers. Some of these are longtime favorites and others are on our endless TBR lists. This episode is extra nerdy, a little nostalgic, and supremely bookish. We hope you find a title to add to your TBR today.
