The book focuses on the preservation of books and the dangers they face. Blades passionately criticizes biblioclasts, both human and non-human, who mistreat books. The book covers various enemies of books, including fire, water, gas and heat, dust and neglect, ignorance and bigotry, bookworms, bookbinders, book collectors, vermin, servants, and children.
