The story The Bibliophile was fantastic. Loved it so much I looked up the author and ordered 2 of his books. Also really enjoyed An Ode to My Childhood Dictionary, Inscribe the Book, What Do You Read, and The American Dream. This was my favorite edition so far of the magazine.
I liked most of the short essays on topics that would be great for book group discussions. Reading this at the beach, I think the photo essay, Books by the Ocean, while beautiful, lacked creativity.
