Arthur Crook (1912-2005) was a long-serving editor of the Times Literary Supplement (1959-1974), and "the last to insist on the anonymity of contributors. A convivial figure on the literary scene, Crook was a dogged defender of editorial standards who would pounce on a howler, and ruthlessly excise any clichés or redundant verbiage." (from Obituary in The Telegraph, July 27, 2005). Seller Inventory # ABE-1518577620480
