Other versions by this Author
In this autobiography, Richard Booth recounts his world-wide search for books, taking us from gambling bookshops in Las Vegas to miners' libraries in South Wales, from affluent monasteries in Hollywood to idyllic Book Villages in deepest France.
He also tells the story of Hay-on-Wye, a small town on the Welsh-English border that became a Mecca for book enthusiasts and collectors from all over the world. The events surrounding the town's Declaration of Independence from Great Britain are described as are the author's more serious thoughts about rural regeneration.
Richard Booth offers many reflections on a society increasingly centralized and dominated by distant authority whether bureaucratic or capitalistic. His views are controversial, provocative but unfailingly entertaining, Monarchic, anarchic, socialist and separatist.
