Welcome to the Dusty Shelf
Welcome to The Dusty Shelf! The Dusty Shelf is an eZine for readers who have a passion and love for those books often left upon the dusty shelves, Classic literature. We invite you to read this month's articles and discuss them with us in our forums.
"In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern."
- Lord Edward Lytton
A Note from the Publisher
I would like to thank Himadri Chatterjee for being so generous with his time and talent. I am very grateful for his work on the wonderful series "War and Peace". The Dusty Shelf would not be what it is today without the influence and unfailing support of Mr. Chatterjee.
Thank you, Himadri!
