<div>Who can talk more authoritatively about the importance of books than the people who create and critique them? In this thoughtful collection, major writers and critics discuss the books that changed their lives and offer informed suggestions for titles that might do the same for others. Organized around themes inspired by Shakespeare's "Seven Ages of Man," the book covers a diverse array of subjects and includes classic to contemporary fiction and nonfiction, as well as graphic novels. Serious yet accessible survey essays are complemented by top ten lists chosen by <i>Time Out's</i> unrivalled team of critics. The book also includes fact boxes perfect for dipping, along with brief, autobiographical "Reading Experience" pieces by famous readers and writers. Designed as both a reference and an entertaining read, the book includes commissioned illustrations, photographs, and vintage book jacket images.</div>

About the Author

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what's happening in the world's greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

We are thrilled that you have considered buying from us. The book that we sell you will be complete, and exactly what you would anticipate from its price.

**As we have recently greatly increased our offerings on Abe, you will find some incomplete cards. Please use the price as the clearest indicator of the quality and state of the book. **

We are as much at the mercies of global pandemic, climate crises, and other supply chain issues, so please do be patient with us.

Shipping Terms

Our rates are based on the cost of the shipping, predominantly through the Canadian Postal Service. The estimate is based on the book you order being part of the majority of our stock, which are standard commercial hardcovers. In the case that a book weighs less than the estimated amount, we will reduce the price of shipping once we have an accurate amount. Conversely, should a book cost more, you may hear from us about an increase in shipping cost. This is rare, but mostly has to do with oversized books. If you ever have any questions, do please contact us.

The book you receive will arrive in re-used packaging from publishers, and will not include insurance. If you wish to add insurance please contact us.
