I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf (Abrams ComicArts)

Celebrate the culture and fanaticism of book lovers with beloved illustrator Grant Snider's I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf , a full-color graphic novel celebrating books, authors, and reading. With a striking package including a die-cut cover, it's the perfect addition to any reader's bookshelf. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer-artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, and the love of writing and reading, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics. "This is a delightful and humorous collection of co mics about the joys of being a book lover, from collecting large amounts of books to (sometimes) getting around to reading them."-Book Riot "With I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf , Snider-an artist, writer and orthodontist-has gathered up a decade's worth of his comics for boisterous bookworms into one convenient volume. Snider's thoughtful cartoons for bibliophiles also reveal he's a well-rounded reader himself." - New York Times Book Review "I confess: I'm in love with books. I read in social situations. I will use anything as a bookmark. I confuse fiction with reality. I am wanted for unpaid library fines. I steal books from my children. I like my realism with a little bit of magic. I like to sniff old books."
