There will be very few PLA members who do not have vivid memories of David Chambers, for many years the indisputable 'head honcho' at the Private Libraries Association.
Here is David in about 1970 at his Cuckoo Hill Press, named after the road in Pinner where he lived.
As far as the Private Libraries Association is concerned, as Philip Ward gradually withdrew David stepped up, and there will be very few members of the Association unaffected in some way by David Chambers' influence.
With wonderful contributions (including from David's children), the present indefatigable editor of the Private Library (David Butcher), has produced a truly memorable issue of Private Library in tribute to David Chambers.
It will be on its way to all PLA members very soon.
Sometimes it's not the book, but but the association that counts.
