A worker in a library or publishing house, while searching through old shelves, found many copies of unpublished books. He took one of the copies and liked it.

Oufadel, what's the genre (which we need to add to the header/ topic title) - e.g., for adults or teens? literary fiction, non-fiction biography, contemporary or historical, mystery, etc.?

What was the worker's job? What type of books did he enjoy reading?

Around what year did you read this book?

[Kris]

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón?

[Capn]

Could it also be a half-remembered scene out of If on a Winter's Night a Traveler?

Still out there, Oufadel?
