Anthony Rowe, the printer who was known widely in the book trade, died last month. He was a remarkable person, a gentleman. Lionel Leventhal, in his On Publishing, wrote:
The Daily Telegraph sub-titled their large Obituary notice ‘Submariner, Olympic oarsman and printer who produced the controversial edition of Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ and said:
Antony Rowe had a remarkable life and, at the age of sixty-five he decided to take up riding. With his wife he rode across Spain, France, Turkey, Portugal, Africa, India (twice) and the Andes. He died aged 79.
