Percy Muir and John Carter were both hugely influential to The Book Collector, and the post-war book world in general. "If the book trade was the vehicle by which they left their mark, it was a mark that extended far beyond the trade, influencing collectors and libraries and through them a world that stretched beyond the boundaries of academic life to those who never knew or have even heard of them."This article was written as a tribute to them by Nicolas Barker for our Winter 2004 issue, 25 years after the death of Percy Muir, and approaching the centenary of the birth of John Carter.The Book Collector Archive holds many of their most important works: www.thebookcollector.co.uk/archive
