A hiatus in our affairs this year has resulted in the production of fewer catalogues and some eccentricity in our shop opening hours. Martins Crook & Smith, and Sue, have battled personfully to keep things together and I am most grateful to them and our long-suffering customers for the great deal of practical and moral support I have received. The many messages sent via telephone, email & letter have been without exception supportive & encouraging - the brickbats & curses have kindly been held back for future use! I have now been back in harness for three months and am pleased to believe things are pretty much back to normal at Claude Cox Books. This catalogue is the first of three planned for the Autumn. Our Suffolk catalogue is nearly ready for the printer and Catalogue 191 - Printing & the Arts of the Book should be out for the Chelsea Book Fair on November 5th & 6th at Chelsea Old Town Hall whither we hope to welcome our London-based customers. Please let me know if you would like an invitation which affords free admission for two. Our cover picture shows a selection from the catalogue. |
