David Grayling Fine Sporting Books: specialist in fine, rare, antiquarian and secondhand books - particularly books on gamebird shooting and poaching

DANIELS John H.

AFFECTIONATELY H. A tribute to Helen Burt Hennessey.

1999

Illustrated, mint in dw. Highly recommended. "For twenty years between 1978 and 1998m a rare book collector exchanged letters with an engaging, eccentric antiquarian bookseller, and a number of different stories can be found in this correspondence. A complex and intimate friendship gradually unfolds between a tough and spirited, yet frail Vermont lady, and an enthusiastic, aggressive, continually learning collector". John Daniels, who became one of the leading sporting book collectors of the 20th century, has himself published this most delightful and informative of bibliophilic works; running to nearly 400 pages, it's worth every penny.
