Percy Muir began his career as a bookseller in 1920. His publications include several bibliographies and contributions to bibliographical journals such as The Library. He composed numerous letters, essays, and addresses on book collecting, including the very popular 'Book Collecting as a Hobby: Letters to Everyman' (1944) and this, its sequel.
The subjects of these letters are: The Joys and Woes of a Book-Collector; How to Proceed; How to Use a Bibliography; What to do About Auction Sales; Is Book-Collecting an Investment?; Is There Money in Old Bibles?; The Antiquarian Booksellers' Association (which contains a contemporary list of members of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association).
