Mermaid Books
"For many years he ran an antiquarian book business - Mermaid Books - with Margaret Steward, specialising in English Literature, and trading by printed catalogue. Those catalogues were a welcome addition to any potential purchaser's breakfast, often causing them to chortle into their cornflakes at yet another scabrously disrespectful description of some long-dead literary figure. From 2020 onwards, Mermaid Books appeared to be in hiatus, and is now, alas, no longer trading." I am sorry but this enjoyable writing (which we can preserve here) isn't in an encyclopedic style, not being formal, impersonal, and dispassionate. Mouse ABC (talk) 10:52, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
