Aylmer draws on 400 years of writing about the Bodleian to create this highly readable treasure trove of historical profiles, amusing anecdotes, and witty observations about a much loved and occasionally maligned institution. This book paints a vivid portrait of a working institution and its complex relationship to Oxford, the United Kingdom, and the World.
