The title is true, at least for me.  I need books in my life.  However, this book makes me a little crazy.  There are just too many distractions on each page and my eyes and thoughts were jumping from one image to the next without fully taking in the information.  I found the front and the back of the book the most interesting–the endpapers.  They used these pages to show a timeline of the history of books and to tell about the development of the printed book, without any of the little illustrations–I wish more of the book had this style.  For instance, the part about the burning of books throughout history and the significance of the printed word would make a great print only section.  I also enjoyed the part of how to make paper from papyrus.  I thought it was interesting to find that Don Quixote is the number one selling book.  I guess people were hungry for a good story shortly after the invention of the printing press.  This book had a lot of good ideas, but was a bit too jumbled up for my taste.
