At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book--that string of confused, alien ciphers--shivered into meaning, and at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader. Noted essayist and editor Alberto Manguel moves from this essential moment to explore the six-thousand-year-old conversation between words and that hero without whom the book would be a lifeless object: the reader. Manguel brilliantly covers reading as seduction, as rebellion, and as obsession and goes on to trace the quirky and fascinating history of the reader's progress from clay tablet to scroll, codex to CD-ROM.Binding Type: Paperback

Decent
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 05 - Khaki (No Comforter)
I purchased a bedsure duvet and duvet cover. King size. Should’ve purchased oversized king because it barely hangs over my bed. Highly disappointed with that, being that it’s not cheap when going duvet route, but otherwise happy with its comfort and texture.

Light, cool and comfortable.
Color: 02 - Beige, Size: King
I love these bamboo sheets! They are very soft and silky feeling. They keep me cool at night. I have not had any issues with washing/drying, they come out beautifully. They feel light and airy. I would definitely consider purchasing a set in another color as well.
