    • J.C. Squire (1884-1958) bestrode the literary world of the inter-war era like a colossus. A poet, journalist, editor of the New Statesman and presiding genius of the London Mercury, he was much adored and - as a combative traditionalist - much reviled. Evelyn Waugh satirised him in Decline and Fall.

    • Mr. Richard Dodsley, owner of a fine second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road, has been found murdered in the cold hours of the morning. Shot in his own office, few clues remain besides three cigarette ends, two spent matches and a few books on the shelves which have been rearranged.
