Description
Broken down into five acts, each tied to a different location and century, The Book of William?s travelogue follows the trail of the Folio?s curious rise: a dizzying S otheby?s auction on a pristine copy preserved since the seventeenth century, the Fleet Street machinations of the eighteenth century, the nineteenth century quests for lost Folios, obsessive acquisitions by twentieth century oilmen, and the high-tech hoards of twenty-first century Japan.

Description
When Paul Collins’s son Morgan was two years old, he could read, spell, and perform multiplication tables in his head…but not answer to his own name. Examining forgotten geniuses and obscure medical archives, Collins’s travels take him from an English churchyard to the Seattle labs of Microsoft, and from a Wisconsin prison cell block to the streets of Vienna.

Description
Hay’s newest citizens accordingly take up residence in a sixteenth-century apartment over a bookstore, meeting the village’s large population of misfits and bibliomaniacs by working for world-class eccentric Richard Booth-the self-declared King of Hay, owner of the local castle, and proprietor of the world’s largest and most chaotic used book warren. Taking readers into a secluded sanctuary for book lovers, and guiding us through the creation of his own book, Sixpence House becomes a meditation on what books means to us, and how their meaning can still resonate long after they have been abandoned by their public.
