from Mark As Read · host Taylor Neary

1.13 "The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu and Their Race to Save the World's Most Precious Manuscripts" by Joshua Hammer. Joshua Hammer does a great job of handling a lot of touchy and convoluted issues while maintaining a straight-forward narrative about the protection of these manuscripts. 9/10 and I would highly recommend for anyone interested in non-fiction, books, history, and preservation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-as-read--5660703/support.If you want to watch this episode, you now can on our YouTube channel or listen here as always.
