ANTHOLOGY. — Celebrities' Choice

National Book League, London, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 25pp. Stapled wrappers, the staples rusted. A very good copy. A follow-up to the Festival of Britain exhibition of the same name, compiling the favourite books of twenty-six celebrities of the day, with their occasional comments and superlatives. John Lennon lists seventeen works, Philip Larkin lists five (including a Barbara Pym, of course), Patrick Campbell identifies five including 'Lucky Jim' ("Superb comedy anchored very firmly indeed to reality"); Julie Christie likes Graves and Proust; Pinter, perhaps unsurprisingly, admires Beckett, Dostoyevsky, Joyce and Kafka, &c.
