Publishing

Eighty-one of the interviews on this website have also been published in book-form in two volumes, entitled A Book of Booksellers and A Second Book of Booksellers.

A Book of Booksellers was first published in 2004 by Sheila Markham Rare Books, in a hardback edition limited to 500 copies. This edition is now out of print. In 2007 a paperback edition was co-published with Oak Knoll Press, of which copies are available at £10.

A Book of Booksellers
A Second Book of Booksellers

A Second Book of Booksellers was published in 2014 by Sheila Markham Rare Books, in a hardback edition limited to 500 copies. Copies are available at £20.

The first volume was described by Frank Herrmann as the most instructive book about the antiquarian book trade that has appeared for years, and Nicolas Barker found A Second Book of Booksellers just as full of the rich loam of character that made the first such capital reading.

Both volumes are included on the reading list for the London Rare Books School's course on The Modern Rare Book Trade, taught by Leo Cadogan and Angus O'Neill in June 2022.
