Books and Bookmen was a literary magazine founded in 1955 by publisher Philip Dossé. It was known for the vigour of its writers, especially the vituperative Auberon Waugh.[1][2][3]
The magazine had six stablemates, Art and Artists, Dance and Dancers, Films and Filming, Music and Musicians, Plays and Players, and Records and Recording.
The publishing company, Hansom Books, folded in 1980 and the magazine was then relaunched under new management in the following year and continued publication until 1986.
