About This Item
London: Constable & Robinson, 2004. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fascinating series of stories of the rare books and authors that have passed through the ken of bookseller Rick Gekoski. Based around the Radio 4 series. The title is taken from an account of the university gown of J.R.R. Tolkien sold by Gekoski. A further chapter is regarding T.E. Lawrence and Seven Pillars in which we may not all agree with Gekoski's views but they are fun reading. 240pp. A must read for the bibliophile or bookseller. A handsome little production with illustrated endpapers..
