about the author
While working as an editor for The Times (‘a once-great newspaper’), Jim McCue wrote the Bibliomane column about collecting books. His private imprint, the Foundling Press, published uncollected writing by Henry James, William Empson, A. E. Housman, Ben Jonson, and others. Together with Christopher Ricks he spent the best part of a decade editing The Poems of T. S. Eliot, which was the Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year for 2015 and won three international prizes. His attempts to edit the internet have proved less successful, and he was stung when it sent him a message saying he had ‘no discernible infuence’. He runs a Poetry Critiquery, is a member of the Half-Crown Club of book-collectors, and is being drawn ever-deeper into the fne art of playing GO.
