A history and celebration of those who created the most ground-breaking and remarkable publishing phenomenon of any age, the encyclopedia.
What The Reviewers Say
Excellent.
Simon Garfield offers a delightful curated sampling of what seekers before and after Diderot have tried to actualize.
Lively and informative.
Witty and geekily eclectic.
