CORNWELL, David (?John Le Carr??) (1931?2020). Signed Typescript Address to the Morrab Library. Cornwall, UK, 26 February 1997. 13 pages (298 x 210 mm), on laid cream paper with conqueror watermark, stapled at upper corner. One of only 50 copies SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR (?John Le Carr??) to upper margin of p. 1. Cornwell accepts the Presidency of the Library writing that he ?has all the right qualifications for the job, and all the wrong ones?. He admits that he doesn?t ?know a great lot about precious books? but goes on to say that he ?was brought up in a bookless household? and he has ?a natural sympathy for people who grow up without the example of reading, or come late to it, or never come to it at all.?
