Haha okay so in my excitement I was exaggerating a little about people randomly taking books, but people definitely have access to free books there since they have worked on publishing them and all. :) Don't want to sound like I'm understating how much work they put in! <br /><br />Aww I'm so sad that you're too young! As soon as you turn 18 go for it! You can do it in the summer before you start uni or something. I really hope you manage to do it because you sound like you'll be a perfect candidate.

I really want to do some work experience with a publishing company myself, but generally you can't unless you're at least 18. Another 4 months for me. :'( This sounds like such an amazing experience, and to be surrounded by books all day...and be able to TAKE THEM??? How did you resist??? You...have a resistance to temptation that can only be made of steel reinforced by titanium reinforced by steel. Seriously.
