A look at the culture and fanaticism of book lovers, from beloved New York Times illustrator Grant Snider

It's no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer-artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, and the love of writing and reading, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics. With a striking package including a die-cut cover, I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf is the perfect gift for bookworms of all ages.

Perfect for any booklover

"MY HOLIDAY WISH LIST - The book everyone is reading - the book no one is reading ¿ A place for all my new books." (Quotation page 36, in part) Theme and content A collection of literary comics by the well-known American cartoonist and writer Grant Snider, about booklovers, book hoarders, booksmell-addicted, but also about literature, writers and writing, including writer¿s block. Implementation This beautifully crafted book contains 124 comics of one or two pages, grouped into fourteen chapters from "I¿m in love with books" to "I write because I must". There are stories about bookmarks, unpaid library fees, the smell of old books, about classics and about the daily dreams and problems of writers. Not only the cartoons are funny, but also the texts are witty, philosophical, poetical, giving words their true and real meaning, sometimes a different meaning, and always perfectly illustrated. This is a book to lose yourself time and time again, discovering new details, and just thinking: "so true, that¿s me!" Conclusion A charming book, every bookworm will love from the first page.
