About the Author:
John Murray VI (Jock) was at the same time one of the most charismatic and one of the most modest publishers. Publishing was his life, and the drawing room at 50 Albermarle Street became a unique meeting place once the office had closed for the evening, just as it had been in the days when Byron, Walter Scott, Tommy Moore and others met there in the early nineteenth century. In addition to his dedication to the firm he also became President of the English Association. He was on the Council of the Publishers Association for a record period but always refused to be put up for President because "Murrays and our authors must always come first," Above all he was the centre of Byron scholarship with an unrivalled knowledge of, and feeling form the poet.
Review:
'Small books of compilations, "wit'n'wisdoms" and general titterana, as displayed near bookshop tills, are bad for national character!but an exemption is hereby declared for the late John Murray VI, whose commonplace book has been edited by his son.' -- The Daily Telegraph 20050406
