This month's display features books on art. Actually, it's books on art that are not so large and unwieldy as to topple off the shelf and land on readers' toes.
Some that I lingered over as I put them on the shelf:
Leonardo and the Mona Lisa Story: The History of a Painting Told in Pictures by Donald Sassoon
Blue: The History of a Color by Michel Pastoureau
Art Lover: a Biography of Peggy Guggenheim by Anton Gill
Q: "Mrs. Guggenheim, how many husbands have you had?"
A: "D'you mean my own, or other people's?"
The view from the art section on a rainy night.
