The Folio
Society Gallery in the British Library is an odd bit of space between the main
staircase and the coffee bar. At present and for another week it is occupied by
a slightly eccentric but delightful exhibition, called Murder
in the Library: An A- Z of Crime Fiction. Tory Historian visited it a
couple of times and took copious notes.
The biggest
criticism is that too many of the exhibits are modern and unexciting
paperbacks...
