Cloth, 8vo, 118 pp, plates. Rosenblum: "In 1926, Low went to work as a cataloguer for the London auctioneer Hodgson's. This account begins with a survey of London bookshops in the interwar period and of the dealers who operated them. Low also discusses the country bookstores in England, Scotland, and France. Later chapters deal with American collectors, female book buyers, three private collections, erotic literature, Peter Kroger (a spy who masqueraded as a bookseller), Low's encounter with Count Potochiof Montalk, who made Hodgson's the official booksellers to the (nonexistent) Court of Poland, and Guido Morris and his Latin Press. These reminiscences offer a portrait of the antiquarian book world of the 1920s through the 1960s." With an introduction by the novelist Graham Greene. Very Good in dustwrapper.
