"Books in My Life is a testament to an important scholarly career and a life well lived in the republic of books, but it also advocates for the book as a physical object that reveals so much about our shared past, as well as the joy of acquiring, accumulating, organizing, and studying them."
- Geoffrey Robert Little, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada, 60
"Books in My Life combines autobiography with fascinating observations about the many roles that books can play in ones personal and professional lives. In particular, his brief memoir detailing the specific volumes, works of art, and other artifacts that one can peruse in his living room is likely one of the most charming and thought-provoking pieces of writing readers may ever encounter. No one will look at the contents of a bookshelf the same way after reading this jewel of an essay - one of several reproduced in Books in My Life."
-Neil Hrab, Philanthropy Daily
William Butts calls Books in My Life "a book from a leading collector, bibliographer and textual critic that you want to savor like a fine cappuccino, to mull over like a Henry James novel, to contemplate up close like a Vermeer painting." In vol. 74, no. 4 of the journal Manuscripts.
