James Fleming: 26 February 1944 –22 November 2024

29th November, 2024

It is with great sadness that we have to let you know that our much-loved editor, James Fleming, passed away last week after a sudden illness.

James took on The Book Collector as proprietor in 2016 and later editor in 2018, returning the publication to the Fleming fold. He loved his work and the journal with a passion and felt very much at home in the world of book collecting, making many friends around the world. We are sure he will be sorely missed by all.

James would want to see The Book Collector continuing for many years to come. We, the editorial board and his family, have every intention of following his vision and dedication to this beloved journal.
