Review of 'The most beautiful libraries in the world' on 'Goodreads'

The title of this book is literally true, & it was a privilege to be reminded of the three Libraries in this book I've been in, as well as pick out a couple that I want to visit. These Libraries are, to their cities, "what cathedrals were to the cities of the Middle Ages" & this book allows a glimpse into them. Highly recommended for those people sophisticated enough to appreciate the vast importance of these incredible institutions.
