BOOK:105mm x 120mm. pp.61 in pale pastel colours. Original boards in dark red and black patterned, 'Autographs' in gilt. / Frederick Bason (1907-1973) was an English bookseller, writer and broadcaster most famously known for his collection of diaries that were published in four volumes in the early 1950s. He found his vocation in buying and selling rare, second hand books. It was through his experience in finding that publications had a much greater re-sale value with the author's signature, that a lifelong obsession with autographs began. His essays featured in The Saturday Book 1945-1972, presenting his work on the same platform as major literary and artistic figures of postwar Britain. Very good. Slight rubbing at spine. Two pages missing, one loose.
