The ultimate book for lovers of lists and literature . . . surprising, inspiring and amusing -- Denise O'Donoghue * Irish Examiner * Eliot's books have been my equivalent of big game almanacs. This book is half a delight and half a gauntlet -- Stuart Kelly * Scotsman * An eccentric idea beautifully executed -- Louis de Bernieres If there was a list of books about lists, Eliot's Book of Bookish Lists would be top -- Philip Pullman Hours of innocent snacking -- Iain Sinclair An absolute delight - Borges meets with Buzzfeed -- Tom Holland A gorgeous confection . . . How do I love this book? Let me list the ways . . . -- Chris Riddell Brim-full of piquant and scrumptious surprises -- John Lloyd Thoroughly enjoyable... As amusing as it is informing -- Michael Portillo Buried deep in the etymology of the word 'list' is the notion of pleasure. Mr Eliot's marvellous vade mecum reminds us why -- John Mitchinson I loved Eliot's book for its wit, learning, eccentricity and unrepentant bookishness -- Alan Taylor A trove of treasures from start to finish -- Dennis Duncan
