The strength of this book--if it's going to be strong at all--would be in the thousands of small observations included in my comments to correspondents. Here are a few samples I've chosen quickly that you literary types might enjoy:
"I can't agree with what you say about organizing a home library. A good home library doesn't have to be organized. you know your books and pretty much know where they are. People don't decide what they want to read and then look in their file catalog for it. Something catches their eye. They take it off the shelf. That's the way a home library should work."
"I don't understand people who call themselves book collectors. Books collect plenty fast without anyone having to set out to do it deliberately. By the time you get to be my age, the problem is more one of weeding out books than acquiring them. Bookshelves need as much weeding as a garden and the weeds are not so apparent."
"Somewhere there ought to be a catalog with a brief description of the life and times of everyone who has ever lived. It would mean more than a stone in a field with a name chiseled on it. No memorial is satisfactory. No building, no marble slab, no plaque, no angel carved in stone preserves the memory of a life as a few paragraphs in a library-of-the-dead would."
