I received an advance reading copy of this book and am enthralled at Orlean's excellent writing, vivid descriptions and meticulous research into the circumstances surrounding the tragic fire at the Los Angeles Central Library in 1986. it is a love letter to all libraries and it is a true crime novel where the victims were hundreds of thousands of books and irreplaceable historical records.
