"The memoirs recounts Glazer's sixty years' experience in the book world of his time and place. Glazer gives the reader a detailed account of his encounters with booklovers in all walks of life; noted bibliophiles, scholars, bookmen, writers whom he inspired with an interest for books. The many 'treasures' and private collections handled by Glazer are described in the book, mostly Russian works from the 16th to 20th century, writings of Russian authors such as Pushkin and many others."
