In His Own Words
About him
Bookselling Coffee drinking Dad to two grown boys (19 & 20) and a married daughter who has made me a proud grandfather, twice so far. (Are grandchildren supposed to be more expensive than the originals?). Interests in a very incomplete nutshell: Music~Ska, BlueBeat, Punk, Motown (stuck in the late 70s), Books: Reading, Literature, Finding, Researching & Selling, Collecting, in fact just generally being about them, Literary Dark Corners are my Speciality. I still write with Fountain Pen and prefer ink to texting when ever the opportunity permits. Usually in Doc's and Ben Sherman or Fred Perry hardly ever suits and ties. Walking in and about Swithland & Charnwood, Coffee and food in & out, History, Conversation, Current Affairs, Shopping, the whole off grid/self sufficiency appeals massively. Moustaches and Ink, I've quite a bit of both.
About his ideal match
Independent and smart (not necessarily in the academic sense), witty (sarcasm a bonus) stylish, and honestly is always a winner
