The Hatchards Podcast

Roger Katz on the Golden Age of Bookselling


Listen Later

In this episode, we spoke to Roger Katz, the former manager of Hatchards, about selling his library of over 500 signed first editions, as well as working in the book trade throughout the 1990s, an era that he dubs the "Golden Age of Bookselling." He relates to us some brilliant stories about his encounters with artists and celebrities such as Steve Martin, Cher, and Arthur Miller, and makes a compelling case not just for Hatchards, but for the significance of the bookshop experience as a whole.

Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.
