A superb signed copy of Eric Korn's unfathomably uncommon collection of witty book dealing anecdotes, selected from his TLS column. "He was attached to an elderly and exhausted clip-on bow-tie, which was not quite so firmly attached to him as he was to it. In some Malayan or Philippine restaurant one night, while he was explaining Mazdaism, or Gertrude Stein, or wave-particle duality, the tie lost its faltering grip on reality and fell into his soup. Without pausing in his disquisition or even glancing down he fished it out, shook off the soup and clipped it back on his collar" - a vignette from Korn's Michael Frayn-penned obituary which appeared in the 'Independent' newspaper..
