International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. David Low was the bookseller's bookseller, with his shop in London's Cecil Court - and this book is his quixotic memories of his life. It is also a rich history of bookstores in long-gone London and England and the British Isles. It has a wonderful 5-page introduction by his friend, Graham Greene. Although many of the bookshops that the author describes areno more (probably as a result of the growth in internet bookselling, these reminiscences will be enjoyed by book collectors and readers everywhere.
