having built Shapero Rare Books into one of the world's leading rare book
dealers over that time.

Chairman David Harland comments: "I welcome both Philip and Bernard to the
board and am looking forward to working with the two of them to take Scholium

will be retiring in early April, after helping with his hand over. We all wish
him well for the future."
