Could I pass on two nominations from Barbara Phillips, formerly acquisitions
librarian at Nottingham University Library?
1) STREETER, Barnett Hillman, The chained library
Enormously scholarly and well-written. A good read, quite fascinating
2) POWELL, Lawrence Clark, A passion for books
Enthusing tales of the librarian and his biblio-geiger-counter as he hunts
for rare books for UCLA's stock
Yours sincerely, Robin.
