Altick's The Scholar Adventurers. What a  wonderful book!
 
I read  this  while a graduate student in the early 1970s  before I ever
considered becoming a bookseller.  Altick's  wonderful prose style stays
with me, after all these years, along with a small handful of  books
that  reflect their  author's love of their  subject matter and of
language.
