This anthology includes
choice articles from the
first fifteen issues of
Bookdealer monthly, selected to
showcase the diverse talents of our
contributors.
Ian McKay’s article
on the Bishop Phillpotts Library
was picked up by The Times as a
national news story; Nick Smith’s
exclusive interview with Alexander
McCall Smith gave us a delightful
picture of this popular author,
and we have been lucky to have
contributions from Sir Christopher
Ondaatje, author of one of the best
biographies of the great explorer
Richard Burton. Mick Herron
talked to leading biographer
Sir Michael Holroyd, who in the
interview coined the literary term‘Gerhardie’s Saucepan’. These are
just a few of the items revisited.
We also have sterling contributions
from James Fergusson, Paul Minet,
George Locke, Sheila Markham,
Nigel Bance and Paul Evans among
others – our only regret is that we
couldn’t include more, but there’s
always next year.
