Quint Buchholz<br />
Im Land der Bücher<br />
In the Land of Books<br />
Everything that books can be:<br />
friends in need, trusty companions, bringers<br />
of encouragement and inspiration …<br />
Quint Buchholz celebrates the wonderful world<br />
of books in words and pictures<br />
This is a paeon to the beauty and diversity of books, compiled by Quint Buchholz in the<br />
form of 30 illustrations and texts. An incitement to read for young and old alike.<br />
Books are trusty companions and friends in times of need. They open our eyes and minds<br />
and hold up a mirror, reflecting our inner selves. They make us laugh and cry, they<br />
challenge and mesmerise, they give us comfort and independence. Books: once you’ve<br />
acquired a taste for them, it will stay with you forever.<br />
Quint Buchholz is an inspired bibliophile, passionately hooked on books. In his enchanting,<br />
enigmatic and amusing illustrations on the subject of books, he sheds new light on<br />
the secret of their allure and shows us just how colourful and diverse the world of books<br />
and literature is, how tempting in every shape and form, how it can be put to use, and<br />
what it can mean to us. A travel guide to the literary realm, a volume that opens many<br />
doors and leaves a lasting impression.<br />
