John Yates-Benyon does not pretend to be Green's biographer. In this at times humorous, at times intensely moving document, he tells of his life with Lawrence and of the great author as he really was - the real man behind the impressive row of best-selling book titles - of his likes and dislikes, his foibles, his hopes and fears, and his triumphs and failures.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
