This book will immediately attract any book lover or just anyone with an artistic love in general. Through the story of Marc Brown, a best known author and illustrator, his love and passion for books is easily seen. Although I am not very interested in books and illustration, I still enjoyed this book. I think a little more detail could have been used or more past history as well. Overall, this was a book I would recommend to aspiring authors and illustrators.
