Re: Best Memoirs of Book Collectors/Dealers?



Here are two more for the list, plucked from a footnote in an article Peter Hoare and I are publishing in the fall issue of PBSA ("Sophisticated Shakespeare" -- watch for it!): Arthur Wrigley, “From a Correspondent,” Times Literary Supplement, 27 June 1952; reprinted in The Book Collector 51, no. 4 (2002): 490-7; see also Nicolas Barker, “Arthur Edward Wrigley (1865-1952),” The Book Collector 52, no. 4 (2003): 529-36. Also William Roberts, The Book-Hunter in London: Historical and Other Studies of Collectors and Collecting (Chicago: A.C. McClurg, 1895). Any issue of The Book Collector will give those interested in the history of collecting lots of happy reading! Germaine.
