In den Warenkorb1p., 4to. In fair condtion, lightly aged and creased. With a few autograph corrections by Roberts. Having been unsuccessful in placing an individual with Wilson, Roberts writes: 'Of course forty years ago the advent of a bookshop like yours was a tremendous event, and we all flocked to it as something new and wonderful, as indee…d it was. I recollect that among my little batch I bought a "Sesame & Lillies" in a little grey cloth cover and it turned out afterwards that it was one of two that Ruskin had had experimentally bound and turned down because he did not like the cover, for which he substituted the well known brown.'.

In den WarenkorbR. J. L. Kingsford, in his history of the Publishers Association, describes Young as 'a bookseller of outstanding character and ability, a friend of Arnold Bennett, and the discoverer of the literary distinction of George Sturt'. 1p., 12mo. Neatly and closely written. Headed 'private', and addressed to 'Dear John'. Young is appa…rently following a dinner (of the Publishers Association) at which George Bernard Shaw was present, and the subject of the letter would appear to be an exhibition Wilson's firm has mounted of books by the London publisher John Murray. He asks him not to allow his 'remarks of Thursday to drill too deeply into your mind'. From Wilson's 'early note' he fears his remarks may have been taken too seriously. 'Knowing you so well and as you will believe with so considerable a liking, I thought you should be made aware of an outside impression which does exist though has not been expressed to me. It was a criticism of the publisher rather than of you. If you look at it from these outsiders point of view it resolves itself into propaganda for your firm.' From Young's own point of view 'such exhibitions can only do good to the Book trade and I am not minded to consider too personal a point of view. Now you may dismiss this matter from your mind If Murrays and subsequent shows would make it clear that the books exhibited are on sale at all reputable bookshops it might be "A Good Thing" as the author of "1066 and all that" says.' Young concludes: 'I wish I'd stayed another few minutes. - & seen G. B. S. I liked herself very much.' From the papers of John G. Wilson, for information regarding whom see his entry in the Oxford DNB.

In den Warenkorb1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. He acknowledges Wilson's 'kind letter regarding Dalglish', who 'suffered a good deal during the latter weeks of his life, but I am glad to say that even then he still retained that brightness of disposition of which you speak'. Dalglish will be 'greatly missed by many book buyers in the… West of Scotland and we, personally, will find his place very hard to fill.' Wylie is 'taking a liberty' in sending Wilson's letter to Dalglish's widow: 'I am sure she will be glad to know that her husband left such a pleasant mark on the younger of his contemporaries'. He ends in the hope that 'time continues to deal kindly' with Wilson. For information on Wilson, who was born in Glasgow and served his apprenticeship there with the firm of John Smith & Son, see his entry in the Oxford DNB.

Meyerstein is undoubtedly the greatest living authority on this subject, and his book, the result of nine years original research, contains much unpublished… material.

In den WarenkorbThe six items in good condition, lightly-aged and with slight rust spotting. Four of the letters concern an exhibition of the CUP's work at the Bumpus store, 350 Oxford Street. Lewis's four letters are all signed 'W. Lewis' and on his own CUP letterhead. One: 24 September 1931. 2pp., 8vo. In reply to Wilson's congratulations ove…r the exhibition he informs him that he will be sending his son ('subject of course to your consent'), 'who has been in the printing [sic] now for two years and should know something of types. I have heard some criticisms of the Oxford Exhibition and several turned on the fact that nobody was there to be able to tell them about types, and therefore after next week I shall come up at least once a week and be available for that type of enquiry'. The rest of the letter concerns 'the little label for your correspondence' and 'a proof of the card all in black'. Two: 9 November 1941. 1p., 8vo. 'Its [sic] just like you to put the final touch to an interesting event. Frankly I have had little to do with it and the real credit lies between you and our publishing department and in that order. That it will do good I am sure. Practically every day I get some reference to it by our correspondents and the accumulative effect will I am sure be great. A lot of it has been good sound criticism which is good for the Press and printing generally.' Three: 3 May 1932. 1p., 8vo. 'You really are a wonderful fellow. Only you would think of sending me a telegram. I've never had one before from anyone and it comes as a delightful surprise. I felt pleased with the book, but now I am ready to swank about it.' Four: 5 July 1932. 1p., 8vo. He congratulates him on 'the Lewis Carroll Exhibition': 'How you do it I don't know. I only hope all publishers and printers appreciate how much you are doing for their respective trades. One cannot expect to see immediate benefit but I am sure the effect is cumulative and I do feel personally how much this Press is indebted for the work you put in all these Exhibtions.' Five: Kingsford (as Assistant Manager of the London branch of the CUP) to Wilson. 24 September 1931. On CUP letterhead, Fetter Lane, London. Signed 'R. J. L. Kingsford'. 1p., 8vo. 'How very nice of you to write me a line about the opening of the Exhibition! I thoroughly enjoyed the fortnight I spent in the Old Court House, and I am glad that you were pleased with everything.' He ends by stating that he is contacting the Jewish Chronicle about the exhibition. Six: Roberts to WIlson. 9 November 1931. Signed 'S. C. Roberts'. 1p., 4to. 'I [.] fully reciprocate your feelings about the Exhibition. I am quite sure that it has been of real service to the Press and I hope that your firm too has reaped some advantage from it. | The Syndics are extremely grateful to you for the opportunity which you have given them of displaying their books and it is especially satisfactory to reflect that all members of your staff and our own have worked in such cordial co-operation throughout the period of the Exhibition.'.

In den Warenkorb120 pages (unpaginated), 12mo. Stitched without covers. In fair condition: worn (particularly the first two leaves) and aged. A marvellous collection, described in a carefully printed and compiled catalogue of 901 lots. A two-page 'Prefatory Note' has a long quotation from one of Meynell's catalogues, beginning: 'My books must a…t my death be turned to account. What I have to fear (and what I hereby forbid) is that they should be offered as a whole to some insensitive dealer who judges a collection by its bindings, its look of prosperity, the presence of those standard 'rarities' that are to be had from every expensive bookseller and found in every wealthy man's library.' Following the quotation Bumpus (i.e. Wilson) points out that 'Into a large number of entries in this list have been introduced the phrases by which Everard Meynell characterised the book in question in his own notes of his stock and library.' Divided into two roughly equal parts: 'Books written before 1800' and 'Books, Mss. and Letters written after 1800'. The latter include sections of Browning, Coleridge, Coventry Patmore and Rossetti associations. There are also long descriptions of a number of AlsS to Patmore: nine from Robert Bridges (£25); three from Robert Browning and his wife (eighteen guineas); five from Thomas Carlyle (£70); Gerard Manley Hopkins (lots 651 to 655); Francis Thompson (lots 880 to 882); Tennyson (lots 864 and 865); and six letters from Lady Tennyson to Mrs Patmore (eight guineas). Among the single letters offered are items by Mary Shelley (ten guineas) and Robert Louis Stevenson (£65). Scarce: only two copies on OCLC WorldCat.

In den WarenkorbIt is Sir Basil Blackwell, in his DNB entry on Wilson, who described him as 'the most famous English [sic] bookseller of his time'. The freshness and enthusiasm conveyed by this small volume supports Blackwell's view that Wilson viewed 'bookselling not so much as a matter of retail trade as a service in which bookseller and cust…omer met and shared the experience of contact with the precious manifestations of the spirit of man', as well as casting light on the methods and practices which made Wilson so successful. 23pp., 12mo, with a further nine pages of pencil notes on early printing, and two small leaves of memoranda loosely inserted. In Wilson's neat hand, with occasional corrections. Ryman 'Strand Reporters Book'. In fair condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. The notebook's first item is the draft of the talk, titled 'Modern Fine & First Editions', on three numbered pages. It begins: 'The first year's course presented several talks relating to Stock and how it should be displayed & kept. In the main we considered the regular level stock & what are usually called bread & butter lines. We didn't touch with much detail on remainders as a regular departmental matter, although as we all know many of the remainder items are most attractive books, &, when stocks are small the selling is quick & easy. It is perhaps a topic that deserves an evening to itself.' This section is followed by another three pages of untitled notes on the nature of bookselling, which is described as 'more than mere handling of books as commodities, selling what is asked for, going with the stream. | It is having a knowledge & control of the material, passing it on with a touch of personal flavour. | Swank, you say. Yes, indeed, I agree. But not altogether swank, because the exercise of control, the keeping of a feeling of detachment, is the proper attitude of all good salesmanship.' This section contains a praise for the 'zest & enthusiasm' of the 'old-fashioned bookseller': 'He was not ashamed to voice his love for authors & books. He was no trimmer. | Is not a part of the new style, a joy in belittling what has been the popular & accepted literary forms? Isn't this another kind of swank?' After a few pages of miscellaneous notes comes a proposal for a book on the 'story of bookselling in the City of London', 'a most deserving study which might be attempted as a thesis arranged by the Stationers' Company, or by a combined effort on the part of the Publishers' Assocn. & the Associated Booksellers.' Another page, headed 'Anecdotal History of Bookselling', proposes 'a social club which could meet once a month, or say six times a year. At the meetings those who know the history of the booktrade, in some of its aspects, would be asked to speak & members would add their memories or views.' Two pages (one detached) concern 'Stocktaking', beginning: 'Art of valuing our possessions: To know what we are worth in relation to sale prices. To look at everything frankly and rearrange sales. This presupposes a knowledge of what we paid for the goods = Cost | a. Purchases during financial year. b. Books taken in last stock sheets. c. Detail all valuable books.' Another note discusses the 'reconditioning of bookshops in line with modern shopfitting', with reference to exteriors given to WHS[mith] establishments'. The memoranda on the two small leaves contain some interesting thoughts, for example: 'Typography is not enough. The real maker is the author. Would your designer refuse to clothe with beautiful design inferior writing. Overalls - & a little more music!' and 'Steep yourself in words well spoken | Surround yourself with beautiful phrases | Dont be ashamed to be found reading a classic'. Wilson's view of the bookseller's high calling is also conveyed in another note: 'Impossible to maintain freshness of reception all the time. | Gradually we become set. | Is there any cure for this shutting down? | The only preservative is a habit of holding our own opinions.
