Fantastic. This is the fourth Petroski book I have read and my favorite second to "The Pencil". The title is in face a double-entendre since this is both a book about the evolution of book storage and a book about the effect that storage needs had on the books themselves. This subject may not interest everyone, but I assure you if you love books half as much as I do you will find Petroski a kindred spirit and "The Book on the Book Shelf" a fascinating story.
