Once Upon a Tome: The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller by Oliver Darkshire

5.0

*ARC exchanged for an honest review via NetGalley* This book is SO delightful and funny in such a refreshing way. Sometimes, when I read essay-adjacent collections such as these, there comes to be a certain amount of tediousness or forced humor within it, but Darkshire makes it seem to natural and intriguing I can't help but start planning my own excursion to Sotherans. Both insightful, poignant, and humorous, this is a book I will highly recommend to anyone.
