Description
A Bookshop in Chelsea
Condition: BRAND NEW ISBN: 9781739164010 Author(s): Philippa Bernard Format: Hardcover Year: 2023 Publisher: Unicorn Publishing Group Pages: 144
Description: In 1972 Leo and Philippa Bernard bought Chelsea Rare Books, a small antiquarian bookshop in the KingA?s Road, Chelsea, advertised for sale in The Times. The Bernards had no previous experience of bookselling, but Chelsea in the 1970s was a lively place. The stock they acquired with the shop included everything from field sports to embroidery, childrenA?s books, art and modern first editions.In the basement they launched The Beaufort Gallery selling prints and paintings. The young women who joined them as bookselling assistants became friends, often introducing a successor before leaving to marry, have children or move to the country. Philippa Bernard makes light of the hard work she and Leo shared, not to mention the heavy work, handling the books.
