Gender Male
Industry Museums or Libraries
Occupation Antiquarian Bookseller
Location London, United Kingdom
Introduction London based antiquarian bookseller working for an antiquarian bookshop (which helps, as I'm sure you'll agree), with old books, in a basement, with rats...alright not with rats, but there is the lady in charge of shipping and she is poisoning me with roughly 700 cups of tea a day. Or maybe she's keeping me alive, I can't tell. I am married to a woman who clearly wed me as the result of some bizarre Karmic backlash because she is beautiful, intelligent and talented and I am...not. Reasonably intelligent certainly (although unqualified for any field except libromancy), but under the heading 'not an oil painting' in wikipedia you will find simply a picture of me. My colleagues are so smart that I frequently hate them whilst simultaneously wanting to climb inside their skins and wear them as a disguise so that people will think I am them. So far I can't imagine this is giving a favourable view of my character, I also love animals and have been known to weep big salty tears at the sight of a really fresh, clean Jules Verne first edition.
Interests Reading, writing, bookselling, my wife, if there's time for anything else I will be amazed
