What reading level is The Booklover And His Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They have done what we have neglected to do--developedthe alphabet into an accurate phonetic instrument, and our neglect iscosting us, throughout the English-speaking world, merely in dealingwith silent letters, the incredible sum of a hundred million dollars ayear. [5] Our neighbors look after the alphabet and the spelling looksafter itself; if the pronunciation changes, the spelling changesautomatically, and thus keeps itself always up to date.
But this happy result has not been brought about
... without effort, thesame kind of effort that our reformers are now making for our benefit. In Swedish books printed only a hundred years ago we find words printedwith the letters _th_ in combination, like the word _them_, which hadthe same meaning, and originally the same pronunciation, as the Englishword. At that time, however, Swedes had long ceased to be able topronounce the _th_, but they kept the letters just as we still keep the_gh_ in _brought_ and _through_, though for centuries no one who speaksonly standard English has been able to sound this guttural.
