Quote and reviews
"Think Bill Bryson, only on books."
Tatler
Tatler
"A charming memoir ... real intelligence and true feeling - and sense of humour. That makes him (Rick) a great companion, and I would be happy, on a long train journey, to sit in between Rick and Matilda, the one very big, the other very small, but made of the same stuff."
The Times
The Times
"A wonderful account of a life immersed in books ... which reads like a performance from a seasoned raconteur: extremely funny and seamlessly structured."
Independent on Sunday

"This is an intelligent, consciously disarming book, packed with ideas, jokes, good stories, small triumphs and larger regrets."
Sunday Telegraph

"Great fun."
