Books That Changed History: From the Art of War to Anne Frank's Diary by Kathryn Hennessy
4.0
First of all, this book's cover!!! It is easily the most beautiful book I own. I mean, what could look better on a book than, well, more books, right?
Inside is also very attractive. The layout works, and many of the books chosen have their own visual - as well as historical - appeal.
Don't expect an in-depth look at the books it covers; this book is meant to be browsed through, a page or two at a time, offering up tidbits of information, while presenting picture upon picture of influential books.
This is one of two books I own which I have on display with their covers showing, because looking at it makes me happy.
