James Booth
“Librarianship was a good choice of profession for him, he claims, since ‘it has just the right blend of academic interest and administration that seems to match my particular talents, such as they are’.”
James Booth, Philip Larkin: Life, Art and Love

“I can not explore the world with my own pocket money, but I will explore the world if I sat in the library.”
Abid Hussain
