Items related to Second Impression: Rural Life With a Rare Bookman
Synopsis
In The Company We Kept Barbara Kaye told the story of how the old established antiquarian book firm of Elkin Mathews survived the war years after evacuation to rural Essex in 1939. Now she carries on the story from 1945 to 1955, when Elkin Mathews expanded and her bibliophile husband, Percy Muir, became increasingly involved in the national and international politics of the antiquarian book trade. It was during this time that the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) was formed and the description of Percy Muir's part in this process provides a fascinating account of an historic event. Percy Muir became president of the ILAB in 1950 and on his retirement from office he was unanimously elected Life President of Honor.

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Like New. 1st Edition. Kaye's second memoir follows the post-war decade in which she and Percy Muir rebuilt their lives and the Elkin Mathews business from rural Essex. She recalls the rhythms of country living, the steady revival of the antiquarian trade, and the eccentric, loyal clientele who sought them out. Blending domestic detail with bookselling lore, she offers a warm, sharply drawn portrait of partnership, professionalism, and the quiet satisfactions of running a literary enterprise far from London's bustle. 10 pages, 350 pages, 18 illustrations. Original lettered cloth, with a dustwrapper. Size: 15 x 23 cms. Category: Varied Books; Books on Books; New Arrivals; ISBN: 0907961088. ISBN/EAN: 9780907961086.
