Death of a Bookseller

 I was sorry to hear of the death of Paul Harris, at his home in Spain, this week.

Paul was a bookseller in Hay for many years, at Oxford House Books on Broad Street, and before that he worked for Richard Booth in the days when Richard went on book buying tours of the United States.

He also led the Republican uprising against King Richard in 2009, which culminated in an effigy of Richard being beheaded in the Buttermarket, with a group of English Civil War re-enactors providing a military escort!  That was a fun event, and Richard didn't seem to mind too much.
