AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"...Petroski manages to support his personal feelings about book storage with telling historical anecdotes--and to offset his engineer's fascination with load, sag, lighting and shelf construction with quite lyrical passages from that obsessive biblio-visionary, Melvil Dewey (he of the Decimal System)....THE BOOK ON THE BOOKSHELF can be relished even by those who don't aspire to a degree in librarianship."Petroski, Henry is the author of 'Book on the Bookshelf', published 2000 under ISBN 9780375706394 and ISBN 0375706399.
