Alle 30 Sekunden wird auf der Welt ein Buch veröffentlicht. Obwohl das Medium Buch in seiner Geschichte schon einige Male totgesagt wurde, steigt die Anzahl der Neuerscheinungen pro Jahr schneller als die menschliche Geburtenrate. Und wir können kaum Schritt halten. Gabriel Zaid ertappt uns dabei, wie wir ungelesene Bücher horten, weil es gar nicht mehr anders geht, und schildert mit viel Witz und Charme Wissenswertes und Kurioses aus der wundersamen Welt der Bücher.

In So Many Books, Gabriel Zaid offers his thoughts and observations on the literary condition: a highly original analysis of the predicament that readers, authors, publishers, booksellers, librarians, and teachers find themselves in today—when there are simply more books than any of us can contemplate. In this brief collection of essays, Zaid combines the business savvy of a management consultant, the meditations of a poet, and the sense of humor of an unrepentant reader.
