Add to basketSuch was the longevity of Tether's Financial Times 'Lombard' column that it featured in the Guinness Book of Records, so the entire absence of biographical information seems odd. Conspiracy theorists might point to the fact that he was an early opponent of the Bilderberg Group: an article on them was rejected by the Financial Ti…mes in November 1976. It is reprinted in his 'Banned Articles of C. Gordon Tether' (1977). From the papers of Philip Dosse, proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Bookmen' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018; and Michael Barber, 'What was Books and Bookmen?', Literary Review blog, 18 August 2023. 1p, landscape 12mo. In fair condition, on lightly aged and creased air mail paper. Nineteen lines of typed text. Addressed to 'Dear Mr Dosse', and signed 'Gordon Tether', with three autograph corrections. Writing on his return from the US, he is sending a review 'Lord Robbins collection of anti-inflation articles'. He discusses the possibility of reviewing 'St John Stevas edition of Baghot's collected works', and continues: 'I thought you might like to see the product of my latest effort to prevent the pro-Marketeers sinking the anti-Market cause for good! It is in broad terms an up-dating of the Common Market issue which also takes the arguments for and against withdrawal further than most other discussion has [sic] so far done.' He wonders whether 'booklets of this type are eligible for attention in Books and Bookmen'.
