Once Upon A Time…

28 August this year is the 20th anniversary (I think!) of the date on which I published the first titles under my newly‐created librarianship imprint of Clive Bingley Ltd. I say ‘I think’ because, although I have a nostalgic taste for anniversaries — they are so happily meaningless in themselves — I recently discovered quite by chance that the date in January on which for many years my wife and I have celebrated with good wine the anniversary of the evening on which we first went out together is wrong by a fortnight! But I am pretty sure my first independent publishing date was at the end of August 1965.
