The Library Angel finds just the book you are looking for and brings it directly to you. Sir Anthony Hopkins describes the time when he was recommended a novel by George Feifer called ‘The Girl from Petrovka’ but the book was out of print and there were no copies in any of the downtown bookshops. When Sir Anthony was travelling home, feeling disappointed, he was sitting on the station platform when he looked down and found a copy of the very book he was looking for. Similarly, Dame Rebecca West was working on a particular project and had been informed that the Royal Institute of International Affairs kept a copy of the Nuremberg Trails, which was necessary reading for her project. Frustrated by searching their shelves on several occasions, she called over the librarian to the bookshelf. To demonstrate the degree to which their filing system was out of order, she picked up a book from the shelf, only to discover it was the exact volume she was searching for. What is more, it fell open at the page she needed for her project. Not only does the Library Angel bring you a book that you are looking for, it also allows a book that would be of use to you to come your way. This might include a book that you might find by chance, a book friend recommends, or a book that you have on your shelf but have never got around to reading. Just by opening the book at a random page might reveal insight or wisdom that will change your life.
