The Book Collector interviews Philip Palmer, co-curator of the Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum, open...
The Book Collector is a literary journal founded in 1952.
We publish quarterly and in addition to our articles on all aspects of the writing, publishing and collecting of books, we carry news about booksellers and their catalogues, book reviews, interviews with librarians and obituaries of scholars and collectors. Our archive contains all our work since the beginning.
Like our founder, Ian Fleming, we are as no other.
