"This research work into library expansion is really a sociological study and explains a phenomenon peculiar to Bengal: a book fair in Calcutta is like a fish market where people of all sorts, rich and poor, exhibit a hunger for books that is a unique feature of Bengali society. It also throws a light on the dual role of British Rule in India: the benefactor against the conqueror." (Publisher's description).
