"Robin de Beaumont, 1926-2023, former President of The Private Libraries Association and benefactor to the British Museum, enjoyed a reputation as one of the leading experts in Victorian decorative bindings. For the condition of his books he was accused of having a time machine, while another visitor described his Chelsea library as "The closest one could get to looking through the window of Hatchard's in the 1860s."
