A snippet from the obituary of Diana Parikian, antiquarian bookseller.
In all she issued 82 catalogues in 50 years. She knew she had arrived when a distinguished old-timer in the trade put his arms around her shoulder to say
"Diana, your latest catalogue, I've read it from beginning to end and there isn't a single author that I recognise."
(Nicholas Poole-Wilson in the Independent)
