Seller: Wykeham Books, LONDON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, [vi], 240 pp. From the blurb: "John Wells, actor, comedian and writer, takes a not always reverent look at the one hundred and fifty years' history of this curious, much-loved institution and at the famous writers and mavericks who have gathered in the beautiful old building in St James's Square to browse, gossips doze and, in the case of one young member, commit suicide. His anniversary history is full of good stories, wittily told, about a place that is less a library and more a way of life." Name on front free endpaper, otherwise Very Good in Very Good dustwrapper.
