Re: Best Memoirs of Book Collectors/Dealers?



Not a book, but an article (lecture?) with some good stories; see "What use is Bibliography?: The Life and Opinions of an Antiquarian Bookseller," by Stephen Weissman, recently recommended to me by a friend (PBSA v. 89.2, June 1995). How about Percy Muir's "Minding my Own Business: An Autobiography" (1956). And then there's Sheila's Markham's "Book of Booksellers: conversations with the Antiquarian book trade 1991-2003," (2004), which I am waiting to read because it's still "on order" with our library.
