New Fiction: Books about books, libraries and bookshops

Crossword Bookstore at Kemps Corner, Mumbai, by Prashant C. Trikannad

There seems to be no shortage of novels about books, libraries, and bookshops. There is a growing audience for what might be called “books about books,” or bibliophilic fiction, as it’s also known. I have seen more films and television shows revolving around books and literary culture than I have read novels in this genre.

Below are only a few such books that caught my attention, though I haven't read any of them. There are many others in this ever-growing bookish genre—some I have read about, many I still have to discover.
