LOW PROFILE: A LIFE IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS
Herrmann, Frank
First edition. Low Profile is the autobiography of Frank Herrmann, author, publisher, one-time director of Sotheby's and founder of Bloomsbury Book Auctions. This unique work offers a tantalizing, behind-the-scenes look into the hidden worlds of Herrmann's life and his various careers. Beginning with his early years as a book designer at Faber (publishers of TS Eliot), the author then shares the times when he had the good fortune to work for firms who published Evelyn Waugh, Ernest Shepard (illustrator of A A Milnes's books), Beatrice Potter, Mrs. Beeton and a host of other famous figures in the writing world. Herrmann continues his story, describing his stormy career as a Sotheby's director and then becoming the founder of his own publishing company and antiquarian book auction house. This well-written text is illustrated with many rare photographs of the "movers and shakers" of the British publishing world.
