My Ideal Bookshelf has become a bookish favorite with readers. Illustrator Jane Mount is back with An Illustrated Miscellany, full of bookworm delights like the world's most beautiful bookstores, literary facts, fictional meals, and more of her famous curated stacks of books.

I have long loved illustrator Jane Mount’s work. She followed up Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany by partnering with Diverse Spines book community founder Jamise Harper to diversify bookshelves and shine a light on books by authors who are often underrepresented. Richly illustrated, it’s full of bookworm delights like curated book stacks, bookstores owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and recommendations from BIPOC literary influencers. It’s a must for your favorite reader’s coffee table.
