Book Description Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Fascinating autobiography from, among much more, the founder of Bloomsbury Book Auctions. Also author and publisher, with much to say on Eliot, Waugh, Shepard and many others. Pleasingly produced and jointly published with Oak Knoll Press. As new throughout, including d/j. I seem to have accidentally acquired about a dozen as new copies, hence the low price. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in books, which is why, I am assuming, you're here.
