Shantanu Datta writes: “Don’t judge a book by its cover, we have been told. Yet 
there are those whose mission it has been to turn that adage on its head. Even if
separated not so much by time – barely a decade and a half – as by geography – one
ocean and two seas – the “Life and Times” of the late Professor P. Lal of Lake Gardens,
Calcutta, India, and the late Brian Roylance of Guildford, Surrey, England, could
easily have read the same: publishers of exquisitely crafted, hand-bound books celebrating
writing and the arts for the safekeeping of history.”
