Book Synopsis How to Do Things with Books in Victorian Britain by : Leah Price

Book excerpt: This work asks how our culture came to frown on using books for any purpose other than reading. The text explores when the coffee-table book became an object of scorn, and why law courts forbade witnesses to kiss the Bible.
