little but

“We would walk to the aircraft, pointing here and there with our fingers and ducking under the fuselage, as if we were discussing the tension of cables, but our talk, of course, was of little but English novels.”

“little but” seems to have the same meaning as “nothing but,” but I can’t be sure. What’s the meaning of this, and would you let me know other example?
