The quotations are grouped under four headings: On Books and Reading; On Libraries, Librarians, and Librarianship; On Writers and Writing; and On Lawrence Clark Powell. ''I know about books'', writes Powell, ''I have lived with them all my life, have collected a million and a half for my university, and a few for myself. Have written some, read many; and best of all, led other people to read.'' Originally published in 1985, this is a later printing.
