"In those days there was no money to buy books. I borrowed books from
the rental library of Shakespeare and Company, which was the library
and bookstore of Sylvia Beach at 12 rue de l'Ódeon. [...]
I was
very shy when I first went into the bookshop and I did not have enough
money on me to join the rental library. She told me I could pay the
deposit any time I had money and made me out a card and said I could
take as many books as I wished."
