Twenty-eight years after A History of the Worshipful Company of Scriveners of London by Francis Steer was published, this new book now brings the story of the Company up to 1999. The authors, both with a wealth of relevant experience, have, to quote their own words, ‘been looking to colour the history with the stuff of human relationships’. The resulting narrative provides a fascinating mixture of facts and entertaining anecdotes that will interest not only the Company members themselves, but also local historians and genealogists alike.
