Episode 07: Peter Blau (Part 2)

The chatfest with Peter Blau continues as we enjoy more conversation in an even more interesting vein, if you can imagine. From the early days of the BSI to radio connections, professional societies, collecting and traditions, and even Sherlock Holmes in a far-flung place, Peter gives his unique perspective.

1:52 Meeting Rex Stout at the BSI dinner and the resulting shift in the paperback book industry
