Laura's Reviews > Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend

I've been wracking my brains trying to remember the title of the book I read a few years ago that covered similar ground. In this case the book suffers from a little too much of the author (I get that she's a book collector and bookseller, and learning some of her methods and tricks of the trade was interesting but her personal story? given the title and subtitle, not necessary). I was also confused why we get so much about Austen herself - wasn't this supposed to be more about the women authors who influenced her and possibly why we aren't as familiar with them as we are with Jane?
