Shakespeare Library of Paris, by Sylvia Beach

Sylvia wrote to her mother: "I need money, I will open a library." From here, Sylvia tried to borrow money to obtain enough funds to establish a large cultural project, provide what the reader needs, and attract as many as possible to make the library a cultural beacon she dreamed of building. In this book, Sylvia Beach presents her memoirs of the success story, how she started, showcasing the obstacles she faced, as well as telling her stories with visitors from readers, writers, and some publishers who contributed significantly to the success of the library. Sylvia also shared her experience in the world of publishing; this experience was a qualitative leap in the library's history, especially since she did not publish many books, but her main focus was printing and publishing James Joyce's famous work Ulysses.
