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. Codice articolo 018997
