I chat with Nigel Beale and my co host Lisa Dalton all about beautiful books this week. We take a journey into Nigel's literary critic role, his podcast interviews and how they intersect with his love of literary tourism. Nigel discusses how the very visual nature of a book can be therapeutic in and of itself and how he collects a wide variety of books and book related items, all chosen for their beauty.
