Crack for Book Lovers
If you love books—reading, collecting, writing, you’ll devour this podcast. David an owner of the world-famous Goldsboro Books in London, a wonderful bookstore that specialises in signed first editions. To date I have purchased 772 books from Goldsboro (I’m not a seller—all are in my collection) so I was excited to learn more about the person who has so much of my money. He didn’t disappoint—lots of great stories, anecdotes, and interviews with top authors (like this episode’s S.J. Watson). I cannot recommend this enough—stellar and fun podcast.
