books about books?`

[Tatyana Buzina]

Hello,
from the more recent ones:
Ada Links "Irga v Grissone" and Lev Gursky "Est', gospodin president." The first one is more about literature in general, the second is about searching for a manuscript by Paracelsus. Would any of these qualify?
Regards,
Tatyana
