Bits From an Old Book Shop

Milne Williamson Robert

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Buying and selling old books is a most delightful occupation. Let poets sing of the pleasures of hope, the pleasures of the imagination, the pleasures of memory, or essayists write of the pleasures of litera ture, 'tis mine to praise the pleasures of bookselling. The bookseller lives in a bygone world. He is daily in close communion with the good and wise of all ages; he has Shake speare, Milton, Dante, Homer, as his com panions, and he is ever and anon coming across some rare treasure, and being introduced to new friends.
