Books: A Memoir is a 2008 memoir by Larry McMurtry. It focuses on his love of books and his experiences as a book buyer and seller.[1][2]
Kirkus Reviews called it "A pleasant amble in Bookland and a treat for the bookishly inclined, as well as for McMurtry buffs."[3] Writing for The New York Times, James Campbell wrote that the book read like notes waiting to be assembled into a book.[1]
