Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth investigation into the lack of comprehensive lending libraries in London, and sets out a plan to establish one. It argues that Londoners of all walks of life need access to a wide range of books for various purposes, from leisure to self-improvement. The author contrasts the situation in London with that of other major European cities and provincial towns in England, many of which have well-established lending libraries. The book proposes a subscription-based model for the library, with fees set at a reasonable level to ensure accessibility. The author also discusses the challenges associated with lending books, such as potential loss or damage, and suggests solutions to mitigate these risks. Ultimately, the book makes a strong case for the establishment of a large, general, and comprehensive lending library in London, highlighting the numerous benefits it would bring to the city's residents, and beyond.
