I am sitting in my room (my library is one of the oldest and largest in the North of England)-it is called an office nowadays before a table piled with books of all sizes, not the newest fiction, but part of a good old library I picked up at a local sale. There is a good, blazing fire, and when I look around the shelves, the parched leather faces of some of my choicest books seem to take a genial expression which grows into an oily (as in their youth) smile of friend ship. My glance falls upon my hands, and my own skin seems now more like an old parchment than anything else; the lines and wrinkles would need a cunning eye to read their story.
I am sixty-seven years of age next month and a bachelor, and being just as comfortable here in my slippers and skull-cap as I would be in my lodging at Mrs. Pringle's, I stay as a rule until very late in the evening. Besides, after spending twenty-eight years of my life in this room, I feel more at home here than anywhere else. When I sit here reading the Record or the Lilmzry World and see the efforts made nowadays to educate assistants, I wonder whether the librarians of twenty years hence will be really better than those who. Like myself, have had to go through a rough and ready schooling, picking up what ever was worth knowing about books, whilst getting a sort of general education as we went along doing our work. I have sometimes been asked by younger men how I became a librarian, and as it will perhaps interest the present-day assistant, I will take the Opportunity of showing how very different was the training of a librarian of the old school - to which I have the honour to belong - from that of the present day.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
