Produktbeschreibung
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt
John Joy Bell, also known as J.J. Bell, was a Scottish author and journalist. Born at 4 Bothwell Terrace in Hillhead, Glasgow, he was the eldest son of tobacco producer James Taylor Bell. Bell attended Kelvinside Academy and Morrison's Academy in Crieff. He attended the University of Glasgow and studied chemistry. After becoming a journalist, Bell worked for the Glasgow Evening Times and was a sub-editor for the Scots Pictorial. His pieces depicted the lives of working-class Glaswegians and were frequently written in the vernacular. He devised the character of 'Wee Macgreegor' for his Evening Times pieces, and the stories became so successful that they were published as a book and eventually adapted into a film. Bell has frequently been condemned for being too sentimental, but it is also claimed that his vernacular was authentically representative, which contributed to their popularity. Bell's publications, however, have become more disregarded in recent years. He was buried in the churchyard of St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen. The burial is at the north-east corner of the church.
