From 1975 to 1985, Bob Holness co-presented a morning radio show on London's LBC, and over the years amassed a large collection of inscribed copies of books whose authors had appeared on the show. From 1985 to 1997 he presented similar shows on BBC Radio 2.

An excellent copy, and a pleasing association.
