This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Passing of the third floor back Jerome K 18591927 Jerome Books
In this charming short story, a stranger arrives at a boarding house in England, where the inhabitants and the landlady all have a variety of character flaws, from the penurious landlady to the vain 39-year-old woman trying to pass for much younger to the husband and wife who bicker constantly to the young woman determined on jilting her love in favor of someone with money. Around the stranger, however, they begin to act strangely, showing consideration for others."Passing of the Third Floor Back" (the title refers to the stranger's room at the boarding house) is one of my all-time favorite short stories, right up there with "The Story of an Hour," "One Ordinary Day with Peanuts," "The Open Window," "Popular Girls" (by Karen Shepard), "A Wagner Matinee," and several others. The writing is typical of Jerome K. Jerome's work--carefully crafted and often quite funny. This story, which was later made into a film, may be suitable for any age, but the prose is sometimes difficult to get through and requires a certain assuredness of the reader. The reward more than justifies the effort.

Passing of the third floor back Jerome K 18591927 Jerome Books Reviews
Enjoyed the stories immensely in this book. It is a great read.
Received the book as ordered in excellent condition, packaged appropriately and priced reasonable.
Very different from the other books I have read by Jerome k Jerome. The creative storyline and the underlying meaning makes it a pleasure to read. .. ...of course!!!
Good reading but a bit soft
A teenager would get much more from this story. It's motivational and kinda sweet.
I went on a Jerome Jerome kick and decided to read everything he wrote, in no particular order. I don't recommend this practice, because after a few you realize that it's all a blur! And now I have trouble distinguishing this title from the rest. But I can say that they are all clever, witty and outdated in a fun way (learn something about "olden" times - and that people and their cares have been the same for centuries). As the author ages his circumstances change (marriage, kids, etc.), so it would have helped to know their chronological order and follow it before I started the endeavor. It's been a few months (and dozens of books) since I read this, and I don't remember the premise - which may be all you need to know as a recommendation on whether or not to read it ).
