Opis

Sam Hare is to be congratulated. Three decades of bibliophily are colourfully recorded in these brisk exchanges between the genial Singapore-based doctor and Mr Sean Hawkins, his faithful supplier and book-hound at The Ancient House Bookshop in Reigate. Though worlds apart, the correspondents' shared love of books forms a growing bond as they discuss new titles and wide-ranging concerns, from history to medicine and palaeoanthropology, from empires to oriental architecture and IT. Soon, the businesslike tone disappears, and personal views and revelations surface like koi carp in a pool. There's the phenomenon of Harry Potter and 'inky-fingered magicians' who make millions; the spectre of 'the grinning gryphon, Blair'; the American publisher who didn't realise that Hong Kong was still British; the Bowes-Lyon family and their disjecta membra; disappearing spies and disappearing bookshops; divorce, remarriage, retirement and property sales
