Biography
The Book Collector, a quarterly journal, began publication in 1952. Its original editorial board was Ian Fleming (who provided financial backing), John Hayward, and Percy Muir. Early editors were Christopher Dobson (1952) and Philip Gaskell (1952-4); but Hayward took over thereafter and served until his death in 1965. He was succeeded the next year by Nicolas Barker, the present editor.
