A Second Book of Booksellers: Conversations with the Antiquarian Book Trade by Sheila Markham

The last resort of the eccentric, the antiquarian book trade is rich in colourful and entertaining characters. Since 1991, Sheila Markham has been interviewing some of its most influential figures about their life and work in perhaps the most humane, sociable and absorbing branch of commerce to be found anywhere. This is the second collection of interviews to be published following the success of 'A Book of Booksellers', which appeared in a limited hardback edition in 2004 and was reprinted in paperback in 2007.
