Rubio Tapani Lindroos (1949-2014) poet and bookseller was born in Finland. His lifelong partner was Martyn Goff (1923-2015), director of the National Book League, chairman of Henry Sotheran and administrator of the Booker Prize. Sold together with a fine copy of 'booker 30 a celebration of 30 years of the booker prize for fiction 1969-1998' inscribed by Martyn Goff to Tony Wingate. Loosely inserted in that volume is an invitation sent to Tony Wingate for the party to mark Martyn Goff's retirement after 36 years as administrator of the Booker Prize at The Savile Club on 25th April 2006.
