In addition to some of the several titles already mentioned, particularly
Randall and Magee, I would add to the list the volumes of collected essays
by the late, great British bookseller George Sims. While not purely
memoirs, they have a considerable autobiographical thread coursing through
them:
_The Rare Book Game_
_More of the Rare Book Game_
_Last of the Rare Book Game_
_A Life in Catalogues and Other Essays_

Subject: [EXLIBRIS] Best Memoirs of Book Collectors/Dealers?
I'm looking for summer reading. What would list members recommend as the
best memoirs by rare book collectors or dealers?
