David Headley has been called a tastemaker in the publishing world, and it's easy to see why. David began by opening his flagship bookshop in London, Goldsboro Books, recently followed by a second in Brighton. He is an agent, runs a successful bookclub and events program, with the clout to ask the publishing house for a unique cover for a book before it's to be sold in his shops.
David Headley is undoubtedly one of the biggest players in the publishing industry, and it was an absolute delight to talk to him about how he arrived at this position. We talk about books he loved as a child, standout books he has enjoyed lately, and also his unwavering passion for placing books in the hands of readers.
This episode is a wonderful insight into the process of bookselling, from the shop floor, as an agent, and of course, as a passionate collector of rare books.
