We are delighted to offer Sheila Markham’s newly published Third Book of Booksellers: Conversations with the Antiquarian Book Trade, the third collection of interviews with antiquarian booksellers to be published following the success of A Book of Booksellers (2004) and A Second Book of Booksellers (2014).
The last resort of the eccentric, the antiquarian book trade is rich in colourful and entertaining characters. Since 1991, Sheila Markham has been interviewing some of its most influential figures about their life and work in perhaps the most humane, sociable, and absorbing branch of commerce to be found anywhere.
