Most published in the U.K., some U.S. With FOUR TYPED LETTERS SIGNED AND ONE TYPED POSTCARD SIGNED to author Robert Nye dated from Dec. 1973, to March 1974. Good publishing, writing content having to do with reviewing, sending books off to London publishers, needing a job, paying the printer, suggesting a book of "porn-ography", etc. Nye, like Booth a prolific novelist and poet, was the poetry editor of The Scotsman and there are references made to it. Booth began Sceptre Press in 1968. Himself a prize-winning poet, he late in his productive career became a best-selling and critically acclaimed novelist (A Very Private Gentleman from which the George Clooney Vehicle THE AMERICAN was made) and writer of nonfiction. His press published many of the best British poets, and eventually U.S. poets throughout the 70's. Many of these copies inscribed to Robert Nye his contemporary and fellow British poet and publisher. 37 items in total, including letters, ranging from Very Good to Fine, mostly Fine.
