Rick studied under John Bayley in Oxford and, after an academic career, moved into the rare book trade. Over the past forty years he worked with Graham Greene, became friends with William Golding, played table tennis with Salman Rushdie and worked with the numerous literary estates selling the work of Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, George Eliot, Vladimir Nabokov and many more.
