One Book told me of a book

 This very book

 I went to look

among many books

the look it took

to find that book

       ****

 A book praised in

 another book

 is worth a look

Nice limerick

limericks are one of the hardest poems to write and you have done a wonderful job on this one. I wonder why you choose to cut it into the short lines? This very book, I went to look, among many books the look it took to find that book A book praised in, another book is worth a look I like this poem if you call it a limerick or not, to get such a clear image and enjoyable read with such rich rhyme is masterful.

Hey

I have only the tiniest point of criticism: Loose the comma, please! Being a devourer of books myself, I am otherwise thrilled with that one. Regards, ID
