wards I desired to possess this book,
but never came across it. Seven
years later, in London, I was led, j
by a window display of books deal-;
Mg, with animals, and bird life, to!
enter the shop. I described the book,
and was able to give the title and
the naive of the publisher• (U.S A.),
and straightway the bookseller
reached to a shelf and put before me
the book of my desire,!
Back in the -80'n of last century T
had read a book, "I Go A -Fishing"
by lir, W. C. Crime—a famous ang-
ler. I had thereafter desiredto pos-
sess this classic angler's book, but
had never come across it. Once in
Leeds, about 1924. I went into a
2nd -stand Bookshop tempted: by the
window display, and asked if I could
get "I Go A -Fishing". The book-
seller consulted a card index, and
then bade a youth to get me the
book. I have it still—a poorly -
printed and poorly bated 'copy, yet
better than no copy at all.
In London I got to be well-known
in at least two bookshops. Every now
and then these• shops would get in
eoveral hundred books in one lot—
from liewspaner offices—review cop-
ies which had accumulated; and when
the pile became tottery, one of these
two booksellers would be sent for to
take the books away—at a bulk
price. I had many happy hours in
these book shops, looking through
the lot of new books to see if there
were any which I desired. In one
shop I would set aside a pile of a
dozen or se books of my desire, and
ask the bookseller what he wanted
for the lot. He would look at then,
and then at me,and then would ,quote
me a bulk price—so low that I never
chaffered with him. I recall that one
fat parcel delivered to me remained
unwrapped Toe months, and was the
footstool of my typist! Once I bought
score or to of books from the lib-
rary of William Hesketh Lever,
minder of Lever Brothers,- the soap

bookplates: the first was that of
William Hesketh Lever; the next,
that of Sir William Hesketh' Lever,

third
that e. . •

with
additional armorial embellishments.
These books I sent to friends, think-
ing that they would like the volume
