Laurence Worms, Ash Rare Books, London. Forty years an antiquarian bookseller and currently the elected president of the ABA – the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association (International).
A promise was made to the members of the ABA that I would try to travel round the British Isles to see as many of them as possible in my tenure of office. To see them, talk to them, listen to them and learn from them.
Here is an account of the travels so far – along with other passing thoughts on books, bookshops – and anything else that takes my fancy.
And coming up, Stroud in the rain, with major roadworks – lovely!
