One such novel could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Although it doesn't solely focus on a boy having TB, it is an old and famous novel that features a young boy's journey and experiences which could be related in the sense of a coming - of - age story like what might be expected in a story about a boy with TB and his encounter with a library book.

One such book could be 'The Illustrated Man' by Ray Bradbury. It's an old classic that contains stories about the future.

I'm not sure of a specific title off - hand, but there were likely some old fictional books where animals were used to represent teeth and cavities.

One great book is 'The Alienist' by Caleb Carr. It's set in 1896 New York City and follows a team investigating a series of grisly murders. The book vividly portrays the seedy underbelly of the city at that time, with its slums, tenements, and the complex social hierarchies. It also delves into the emerging field of criminal psychology, making it both a historical exploration and a thrilling mystery.

A book collector I knew had a very interesting story. He started collecting as a child, with just a few old books from his grandparents. As he grew up, he became more and more passionate. He would often go to auctions and bid on books. One time, he got into a bidding war for a very special book. He was determined to get it, and in the end, he won. But he had to pay a high price. However, for him, it was all worth it as that book was the centerpiece of his collection.
