This is a very good read. I have recommended it to two library staff in two different library systems and both enjoyed it. Another person I told about it loved reading it. This story of a book that is amazingly preserved over hundreds of years by people that did not survive is fascinating. Chapters alternate between a present day preservationist hunting for clues about its experience and the historical stories of those people, dating back to 1492, who risked their lives to protect it. Highly recommended reading.
