Omschrijving
An evocative and candid memoir that charts the key moments in the life of Britain's most successful bookseller.
[A] moving, funny take on business, family and mortality
The rollicking, page-turning memoir of Britain's biggest book tycoon
[Waterstone] writes movingly... Small, poignant images standout... From such raw clay are great entrepreneurs moulded
The Face Pressed Against a Window confirms one's sense that this extraordinarily energetic and well-meaning man has been, and still is, a force for good.
Tim Waterstone read English at Cambridge University before moving to Calcutta to work for a broking firm. On returning to England, he worked at WHSmith for eight years, and went on to establish the bookselling chain Waterstones in 1982. In 2018 he was knighted for services to bookselling and charity.
