Captivating. It's like standing in line and overhearding an animated conversation just ahead of you about the secret world of rare books-and hoping you hear it all before they get to the front of the line and wonder off someplace else!, Written in an engaging, accessible style, these accounts will appeal to fans of Pawn Stars, as well as scholars of literature and printing history., Printer's Error is an entertaining entry in the always fascinating books-about-books genre. The Romneys make good on the irreverent premise that "the printed word is glorious, but it's also nuts." How, they ask, can that be so? "Because we are gloriously nuts." It's a keeper., The Romneys have given us a delightful romp through the history of the printed book that reads like a late night monologue. If you think printing history sounds fascinating, you'll love it. If you think print history sounds dull, you'll also love it. And no matter how much you think you know about books, you'll find yourself saying, "Are you freaking kidding me? I never knew that!", "Printer's Error is an entertaining entry in the always fascinating books-about-books genre.
