From the dust jacket: "During a long career in publishing Frank Herrmann had the good fortune to work for firms who published T S Eliot, Evelyn Waugh, Ernest Shepard (the illustrator of A A Milne's books), Beatrix Potter and Mrs Beeton, and a host of other famous figures in the writing world. He took to writing himself and, after publishing a long history of art collecting in England, was asked to compile the history of Sotheby's, the auction house. Subsequently he became first, an adviser and, later, director of that firm's overseas operations. A love of the saleroom led him to start an auction house of his own which specialised only in books and literary material. His Bloomsbury Book Auctions has become a major player in the London auction world and continues to thrive. In his triple role as author, publisher and auctioneer, Frank Herrmann had unrivalled opportunities to observe the workings of the literary world and the book trade at close quarters and in these memoirs he gives a remarkably intimate picture of the editorial process at work and stresses the continuing importance of authorship. His narrative is interspersed with delightful interludes about his many other interests and activities. These include life with the Giant Alexander, the children's book character he created; researching in archives and later selling them; being the owner of a monumental castle in Franconia, and having to resolve the problems brought about by a large herd of wild boar in East Germany.". First Edition. Hardcover. New/New DJ (still in shrinkwrap). 8vo. (ix), 398pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Hardback. Condición: Good. Low Profile (2002) ? Frank Herrmann | Plough Press Sold by Crappy Old Books A true gem for collectors of the obscure and the eloquently underappreciated. Low Profile (2002) by Frank Herrmann is a quietly powerful reflection on the art of staying out of the spotlight, published by the renowned Plough Pr…ess. Known for its finely crafted limited editions, this slim volume balances personal insight with typographic elegance. Herrmann?author, publisher, and lifelong lover of the printed word?delivers a modest yet memorable essay on anonymity, humility, and the quiet satisfaction of a life well lived. It?s a book that whispers rather than shouts, ideal for readers who prefer thoughtful substance over literary fireworks. This edition, as with all things from Crappy Old Books, comes with just the right amount of shelf wear and bibliophilic charm. Possibly dog-eared. Possibly dusty. Certainly worth your time. Condition: Acceptably shabby. Which is to say: perfect. Publisher: The Plough Press, 2002 Pages: Few Vibe: Quiet genius in a loud world Grab it before it vanishes like the author probably wanted it to. Contains an unused Christmas card and a flyer on living life as a Christian, dated 2003. Very good copy, looks unread.
