Where librarians, book-collectors and booksellers meet...

The Book Collector was founded in 1952, the brainchild of three men. One was Ian Fleming, not then famous for James Bond, but a great book-collector. The second was Percy Muir, doyen of antiquarian booksellers. And there was John Hayward, author of the great Rothschild Catalogue, friend and muse of T.S.Eliot. Hayward was effectively The Book Collector's first editor and set the style - scholarly articles, timely and well-informed news and comment - that has lasted ever since. Unfamiliar authors, contemporary collectors, book-bindings, the news behind or ahead of book-sales, the ways, good and bad, of libraries, reviews of books and booksellers' catalogues, all these have been its staple, then and since. Nicolas Barker has been editor since 1965, and over forty years has given The Book Collector international authority. The editorial board is A.S.G.Edwards, James Fergusson, Theodore Hofmann, David McKitterick and Joan Winterkorn.
