A Day in the Life of a Rare Book Dealer

Sims, George

'So many people have asked me why I sold my rare book business that I have learned to reply succinctly - 'the pressure',' says rare book dealer George Sims. And what pressure it is!
The day begins at 6am, with high level appointments including the Prime Minister, lunch (caviar) with a Duke, a great deal more influence-wielding before Doris Day calls to sing him to sleep.
