Books About Books/Authurs/Biography/Autobiography

It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me .... I love books. In fact the only thing I can think of better then books is a book about books.
Over many years I have come across quite alot of these and I tend to read them again and again.
Some are nice to  dip into every now and then and to use quotes from .
When searching for books about books that is a bit harder. It was not that easy to find these books for some reason or another. Below I am showing you the ones I found and loved so it will save you a little of the leg work that I had to endure . No doubt there will be a part 2 to this particular entry at some point but for now here we go.....................
