520 _a"Sixty Years a Bookman, with Other Recollections and Reflections" by Joseph Shaylor is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The author reflects on his extensive career in the bookselling trade, sharing personal anecdotes and observations from a life devoted to literature and the industry surrounding it. The book serves not only as a personal history but also as a snapshot of the evolution of bookselling and publishing during a significant period in British history. The opening of the memoir introduces Shaylor's early life in Gloucestershire, where he recounts formative experiences in his childhood, including his initial education and the joy of exploring the natural beauty of the Cotswolds. He paints a vivid picture of his upbringing and the influence of his parents, particularly his mother, on his character. Shaylor details his entry into the bookselling trade at a young age, outlining his apprenticeship and the challenges he faced. The opening sets the stage for a rich narrative that intertwines personal growth with the broader history of the book trade, indicating that the memoir will provide insights into both Shaylor's life and the literary culture of his time.
