A second Book of Booksellers: Conversations with the Antiquarian Book Trade, with an Introduction by Nicolas Barker.
First edition, limited to five hundred copies, of the second collection of Markham’s interviews with antiquarian booksellers.
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.
This is the second collection of interviews, published following the success of A Book of Booksellers (2004). A Third Book of Booksellers (2025) is also available.
ISBN 978-0-954-7997-2-4.
