"The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu" is not really about those librarians (lemmy.zip)

It's mainly about the war in Mali, how it got to that point, and even some of the people that participated in it got more "page-time" than the librarians (around a 90% of the book, I'd dare say). Who are basically a single man.

I really wanted to read about saving manuscripts, so I'm very disappointed.

I wouldn't say that the book is bad, it's just that the title is clickbait material.

If any of y'all know of other books that REALLY talk about saving/protecting/restoring documents, please do tell me the titles!
