by John Arlott
Boundary Books with Collins Willow, 1990. Full leather, all edges gilt, ribbon marker, marbled end-papers. Limited Edition of 200 copies signed by the author. John Arlott was a reluctant autobiographer but after much persuasion he finally produced this volume of recollections, mainly covering the early years. Sadly, he died not long after its publication but this is a fine tribute to his wonderful and varied life - policeman, poet, BBC producer, book-collector, wine connoisseur, journalist, writer and commentator extraordinaire.
