Whereas the earlier volume, as the name suggests, focuses on looking at, in great depth, specific manuscripts from across the centuries, this focuses on 12 individuals, from St Anselm through to some modern names (mostly unknown to me), who had interacted with books/manuscripts in some specific manner, whether as a collector, seller, publisher, illuminator, librarian, forger, editor, curator etc.
De Hamel describes the relationship between each person and books/manuscripts, and in doing so, often describes particular books as well.
These are not biographies as such but do paint a picture.
The book itself is lavishly illustrated and is beautiful to hold and read.
Whilst "Meetings" is my preferred read, I suspect if I had read these two books in reverse order, this would be my favourite!
A must read for anyone interested in books.
