A very interesting read about a very interesting person. I enjoy recommendations of other books. This one points me in several directions.
John Archer was a respected leader in the book community in his work at the printing office of the New York Public Library. The constellation that we know as Sagittarius is also known as 'the Archer'. This collection was assembled by Paul Bennett.
