Book collections have always served to symbolise their owners' culture and learning and the word 'library' has come to mean not only the books themselves, but also the buildings that house them. Each age and culture has moulded them to reflect its own priorities and preoccupations - mirroring the history of civilisation itself. In this book, author James W.P. Campbell and photographer Will Pryce have travelled the globe, documenting some 80 libraries.
