New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1995 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. x, 224 pages and 18 illustrations.
Reprint of the first edition. In 1938, after three years of sharing a house in London with a moody, elderly Russian who translated Chekhov, Barbara Kaye and her husband, Percy Muir, move to a Tudor cottage in northwest Essex, in joyful anticipation of having a home to themselves at last. As she handles a young daughter, domestic crises, a garden, chickens and writes novels - Percy commutes to London to carry on his antiquarian book business at Elkin Mathews in Duke Street. Eighteen months later, on the eve of war, the business and staff join the exodus of evacuees from London to room with the Muirs, along with parents and dog, in their draughty and already over-crowded cottage. In this entertaining and very personal sequel to Percy Muir's MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, Barbara Kaye describes the struggle to keep the firm of Elkin Mathews going while, as they host an egotistical author engaged on a book on women, an eccentric poet, the creator of James Bond and other friends who come for temporary refuge from the Blitz. Writers and artists living in northwest Essex at the time come into story, amongst them A.J.A. Symons, Marjorie Allingham and A.E. Coppard. The book also gives a vivid picture of war-time life in a village where American Forces were stationed.

New York The Grolier Club 2002 9 x 12 inches hardcover 192 pages
This is a catalogue of an exhibition held at the Grolier Club from December 11, 2002 to February 1, 2003. The exhibition displayed the trends in private collecting through some of the most impressive holdings of Grolier Club members.

When the Grolier Club was founded in 1884, book collecting was dominated by incunabula, illuminated manuscripts, fine bindings, and classics. Many of the collections presented in this catalogue are largely made up of first editions of past and present authors and drawings of modern artists including Redon and Doré.

The catalogue also examines modern bibliography through the broader world of book collecting. Divided into fifteen subject areas, the book covers Americana, travel, general literature, fine printing, bindings, photography, bibliography, music, science, medicine, and children's literature. Containing beautiful illustrations, many in full color, the catalogue was designed by Jerry Kelly and printed by Martino Mardersteig at the Stamperia Valdonega. An intorudction by T. Peter Kraus and Eric Holzenberg is also presented.
