What an alluring title for someone like me.on Xinbo's bookshelf When I saw this book, I couldn't help but took it down immediately.I blushed, the new book I hadn't read was too much too much.Not only have I never read it, but I have never even heard the title of the book. The binding of this book is very nice.The writing is all black, and the colors of the words and the cover painting are white and red.red The use of color is very little, only the word "for" in "for the life of the book" is red, probably to emphasize this

What is life for, the effect of exaggeration and decoration is excellent. The spine of the book is also completely black, the author's name is in red letters, and the title is in white letters, all in ordinary Bold typography, simple and elegant, this is the German style of binding, it is easy to attract attention, so in the book I saw it as soon as it was on the shelf. When I took it down, it turned out to be a translation book.The original author's translated name is "Suiqing", and he is a publisher in old Russia. Needless to say, "A Life for Books" must be his autobiography.The old Russian society was a bit like

The dark age before the liberation of our country.In that era, working in publishing, based on my own experience From experience, there must be many wonderful encounters, which are unforgettable like fairy tales. This book The content must be very rich and interesting, why haven't I read it?I can't help but turn it over and over in my hand I went to see it, but I was reluctant to put it back on the shelf. Xinbo saw my intentions and asked straightforwardly: Do you like this book?I will give it to you. "Then, I'm not going to be polite." This is exactly what I have in mind, but I am embarrassed to say it.he

Now that I have seen through my thoughts, I am naturally no longer polite.So this "Life for Books" is Put it in my bag, and follow me back to my home, which is almost a home for books all my life. "Life for Books" was published by Sanlian Bookstore in China, the translator is Ye Dongxin, the year of publication It was July, 1963, and the first edition of 2,000 copies was printed.The sales of such books will not be very big, because The 2,000-volume run was just right.It is probably because there are not many printed books that I actually found them in the bookstore here.

Never seen.If it hadn't been accidentally discovered on Xinbo's bookshelf, it would have almost missed it. The original author died in 1934.His publishing work spans the old and new eras of Russia. Modern, old and new societies.Just such an experience, there are already many things worth remembering for him.I There are also many publishing workers in China who have such experience. If some of them are willing to write, they are also willing to write. A Life for Books could be written.
