This is the true story of a young man who wanted to save yiddish books that were being destroyed because Yiddish was falling out of favor as a language and as Yiddish book owners begin to age and need to downsize. Later many others all over the US joined in helping him. He was able to save thousands of books and his story reads like a novel with wit and good humor; and some sadness as the stories of the owners of the books are told. It is very interesting and interestingly told. I highly recommend it. Five stars
