See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Philip Dosse was 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. This item is 2pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with the two leaves attached by a slightly rusty staple. Folded twice for postage.

He will have 'a better idea of what you might be able to do with this book of mine' once he has seen 'Books and Bookmen': 'But if you have any ideas about what I could do to help you to help my book to be known, do write and tell me.' He lays out the plans for publication, 'subject, of course, to there being no sharp deterioration in industrial working'. Autograph postscript: 'Oh dear; just heard the strike is on. Probably add 1 1/2 weeks to first & 3 weeks to second date!'.…
