One hundred years of bookselling. June 2023

2023 was the centenary year of our bookshop, Bertram Rota Limited , founded by my grandfather. His uncles, who gave him his first job, and their father were booksellers too. My father took the helm in 1966 and I joined the business in 1995. In modest celebration, I wrote and sent to customers “monthly musings” all of which are now appearing here. In April we issued a major catalogue rather than a reminiscence, but there is another written in December 2024 but not published until now.
