Review Starred Review: "This impressive book—a veritable portable public library—offers an amazing wealth of nonfiction reading recommendations on virtually every subject....The only TBR list you'll ever need." BlueInk Review, June 2022"I am thrilled that my volume has earned a small place in Library Lin's Curated Collection of Superlative Nonfiction. Linda Maxie's compendium exudes both qualities I treasure in accomplished librarians: unbounded expertise and unstinting generosity in sharing it. Any curious reader will find her guidance to the best in nonfiction not only helpful but inspiring." — James Mustich, author of 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die."Americans read, on average, just four books a year. For many, printed text has gone the way of buggy whips and copper pennies; the average youth of 18 spends 9.5 hours a day on electronic devices, and just 46 minutes a week outdoors. Library Lin's Curated Collection is a dazzling antidote to all of this, an inspired compilation that celebrates what all the sages and wise women of history have always known. A great book is a universe of wonder, an old growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an opening to mythic realms beyond all imaginings." -Wade Davis, author of Magdalena: River of Dreams: A Story of Columbia"Unique and inherently fascinating, impressively comprehensive and exceptionally well organized and presented, "Library Lin's Curated Collection of Superlative Nonfiction" will be of immense interest to dedicated bibliophiles, inquisitive booksellers, library science professionals, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in cataloging, bibliographies, and indexes. Especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library collections, it should be noted that "Library Lin's Curated Collection of Superlative Nonfiction" is also readily available in a digital book format." --Midwest Book Review"....A thoughtful, thorough survey of the best nonfiction found in today's libraries." --Kirkus Reviews About the Author Linda Maxie is a retired librarian with a passion for matching the right book with the right reader.
