The warm and funny inscription in this copy speaks volumes about the charm of this book and Robert Woolley. He tells the story of his rise from middle class youth to pre-eminent Sotheby’s auctioneer and popular man about town. The book is full of witticisms and insight. One bluestocking reviewer criticized Woolley for superficiality. Perhaps she was the one without the depth—unable to appreciate the complexities and nuances of his world.
