Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fascination of Books: With Other Papers on Books Bookselling Among the several influences that have led to the publication of this volume the chief is my strong hope that it will be of value and pleasant interest to those who are concerned with the practice or history of Bookselling. If a few of the collected articles repeat themselves in some minor particulars or are somewhat out of date, I may plead that while many customs of our trade are old and traditional, yet they are continually being repeated, and also that the general subject is one about which those who take pleasure in it are never tired of hearing. The following pages may not accord with all the canons of literary style, but they have at least been written from a life-long knowledge and love of the Bookselling Trade. Some of the articles have brought me many pleasant letters and experiences. I will mention two incidents connected with my article "On the Selling of Books," which was written in 1895.
