Review "Contemporary artists and authors, such as Ann Patchett, come together in a celebratory ode to literature" Harper's Bazaar "It's no secret that at Red we have an unabashed love for books, so imagine our delight when we discovered I'd Rather Be Reading: A Library Of Art For Book Lovers by Guinevere de la Mare. Abundant in gorgeous bookish artwork (like this watercolour of Other People's Favourite Books by Kate Bingaman-Burt), essays (including a manifesto on slow books by Maura Kelly) and lists (like Ann Patchett's 25 favourite books), this tome is a 96-page love letter to all things literary. The perfect gift for bibliophiles and bookworms." --Red Magazine"I've found the perfect gift for the bookworm in your life: I'd Rather Be Reading. [...] Subtitled a library of art for book lovers , it's a gorgeous mini coffee table book, packed full of literary-inspired artwork, quotes and photographs, and peppered with essays by fellow book nerds." --A Cornish Geek"The aesthetically pleasing pages of I'd Rather be Reading really express the creators love of the written word and the passion in the production of this book is clearly evident. No small detail has been spared in making this evocative read as richly textured in imagery as it is in print. The shortness of this book means it can be read in one-sitting, but my love for all it contains remains eternal." --United by Pop From the Author Guinevere de la Mare is a writer, editor, and content strategist based in San Francisco. She is the founder of Silent Book Club, a pop-up speakeasy for readers worldwide with chapters in more than twenty cities (and more being added all the time). See all Product description
