Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: The Folger Shakespeare Library owns 79 of 240 first editions of the collected works of Shakespeare that are known to exist including the only known copy of Titus Andronicus. -- Green Guide Editor
Elyse Estrada: Find a small publication bound in leathery light gray material. Titled Narrative of the Life of James Allen, it is a well-preserved book bound in the skin of its author.
Sergio López: Somehow, the 80 people together in a huge room of this Library manage how to keep the quietness of the whole building. It's an awesome place to do some work or simply chill out. A monument to books!
