Advantages: concise

Disadvantages: not recent

it's been many years since I sat down in this fabulous old building to write an essay or two for my economics degree. The central reference area is perhaps the most spectacular of any of the libraries in the Uk. the huge dome structure provides dazzling acoustics and the silence is deafening.

What struck me most about the facility was that it contained every book aver published in this country. You simple fill in a form and about 15 minutes later, the book is delivered to your workspace. You can request articles from newspapers from any year- impressive , or what?

I don't think that Manchester is a copywright library. Maybe you could add in a few more details about the building itself?

You wouldn't be able to get "any book published in this country" from Manchester Library.
It's even too a big claim for the British Library in London, or Boston Spa.
