"The Book Chamber is not an alien institution to us. The book is a writer. So, this is a writers ' institution. Here is an archive of all the writers, the facts of their works. I retired at the age of sixty. After 40 years, I went to work. They say that when you retire, you need a work experience, let me have some experience. I graduated from KazGU myself for almost nine years. For four years I was in shock. Then someone said: "If you go to the book chamber, your experience will be calculated from the day of the first issue." "I don't know," he said. Indeed, the release date, circulation, publishing house of all my works are off the scale here. The law can create around half an hour."
