QUINT BUCHHOLZ<br />

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 />
