Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Nicolas Bentley (illustratore). 1st Edition. First of all, this is not the New Zealand-born David Low, the cartoonist who died in 1963. It's the Cecil Court bookseller, David Low. Although appearing under the strange imprint of The Amate Press, Tehran, this book was published by David Low's friend and one-time bookselling partner, Robin Waterfield, who had gone off to Iran to be a missionary. Low then distributed the book from the lovely bungalow in Oxfordshire to which he had "retired". The book is an entertaining collection of essays on things bookish - shops, collectors, treasures. There's an Introduction by Graham Greene, several sections of black & white photographs and reproductions, and an Index at rear. The half-title, beneath the printed title, is signed by the author with the words "but with all sincerity David Low". Not inscribed to anyone. This is a fine copy in its lovely brick red cloth, apart from a bookseller's label to front pastedown. The dust jacket, featuring two drawings by Nicolas Bentley, is very near fine with one faint brown spot and a very slightly browned spine panel. MC. Signed by Author(s).

David Low was the bookseller's bookseller, with his shop in London's Cecil Court - and this book is his quixotic memories of his life. It is also a rich history of bookstores in long-gone London and England and the British Isles. It has a wonderful 5-page introduction by his friend, Graham Greene. Although many of the bookshops that the author describes areno more (probably as a result of the growth in internet bookselling, these reminiscences will be enjoyed by book collectors and readers everywhere.
