In late 1951 The Dropmore Press owned by Fleming's employer Lord Kemsley and in which Fleming had an interest was revamped as The Queen Anne Press. Ian Fleming was given editorial control with Percy Muir and and John Hayward as directors. Similarly Kemsley's Book Handbook was rebranded The Book Collector with the same three men serving as the editorial board and listed on the title page of the present number. Kemsley soon tired of the project and sold the journal to Fleming cheaply resulting in Ian becoming a publisher. London: The Queen Anne Press, 1952 unknown
