Great list....Although I wish the list were named "NOVELS about books...." Anyway, I thought the Thirteenth Tale was absolutely fascinating and hope Setterfield completes another novel (and maybe it will also be tribute to the love of reading, like this one was).
This list left out the Bookman series of John Dunning. However, this is one of the better lists on this site.
Oh! But where oh where has the creator gone?
The Shadow of the Wind is a book about books. It might be a good one to add. One of the few books I'm thinking about rereading!
I'm very pleased to find The Neverending Story on this list, it's a fantastic tale.
I've removed #252 Isn't It Pretty To Think So? which has nothing to do in this splendid list.
#733 The Uncommon Reader is a duplicate.
