George Holbrook Jackson (1874 - 1948) Was A British Journalist, Writer And Publisher. He Was Recognised As One Of The Leading Bibliophiles Of His Time. Around 1900 He Was In The Lace Trade In Leeds, Where He Met A. R. Orage; Together They Founded The Leeds Arts Club. At That Time Jackson Was A Fabian Socialist, But Also Influenced By Nietzsche. Later They Separately Moved To London As Journalists. In 1906, Shortly After Arriving In The Capital, Jackson Suggested Founding A Similar Group To The Leeds Arts Club, The Fabian Arts Group. This Eventually Led To A Split From The Fabian Society, Whose Interest Was Economic And Political. In 1907, Jackson And Orage Bought The New Age, A Struggling Christian Socialist Weekly Magazine, With Finance From Lewis Wallace And George Bernard Shaw. Initially Jackson And Orage Co-Edited, With Jackson Setting The Editorial Line With Cecil Chesterton And Clifford Sharp (Later The Editor Of The New Statesman). In 1908 Jackson Left And Orage Continued As Sole Editor. Around This Time, Orage's Wife Left Him For Jackson, But Refused To Divorce Orage. From 1911 Jackson Had An Editorial Position On T. P. O'connor's T.P.'S Weekly, A Newspaper With A Strong Literary Emphasis. He Took Over As Editor From Wilfred Whitten In 1914. Later He Bought The Publication, And Converted It Into His Own Literary Magazine, To-Day, Which Was Published 1917 To 1923, When It Merged With Life And Letters. At The Same Period He Set Up In 1912 Or 1913 The Flying Fame Press, With The Poet Ralph Hodgson And Designer Claud Lovat Fraser. This Was The Beginning Of A Long Association With Small Press And The Worlds Of Typography And Book Collecting, On Which He Wrote Extensively. He Was In The Short-Lived Fleuron Society (1923) With Stanley Morison, Francis Meynell, Bernard Newdigate And Oliver Simon. He Did More, As A Patron Of The Pelican Press Amongst Others, To Encourage The Raising Of Production Standards Of Books. After World War I Jackson Introduced Orage To C. H. Douglas, Who Subsequently Wrote Economics Articles For The New Age, Expounding His Theory Of Social Credit. James Joyce Singled Out Jackson To Sylvia Beach As Someone Who "Resembles" Leopold Bloom.

It has been said that when man needs company, a book is his best friend; when in doubt, a book is his adviser; when in damp spirits, a book is his comforter; and when bored, a book is his best recreation. Books are the lifeblood of humankind. With this in mind some 85 years ago, Holbrook Jackson, a highly respected man of letters, published in a limited edition a book called The Anatomy of Bibliomania. The current edition, now titled The Book About Books, was welcomed by book collectors and book lovers everywhere because the original was long out of print. The Book About Books is written in the style of the seventeenth-century prose master, Robert Burton, whose prototype The Anatomy of Melancholy served as the spark for this project. This monumental work shows an erudition in its field comparable to Burton, as well as the same racy and witty style of the earlier work. However, Jackson, in his love for and knowledge of books, emerges a distinct personality as he writes of every conceivable topic in the world of bibliomania, from the most learned to the most frivolous. This is the most ambitious and important work of Holbrook Jackson's many books - a sterling reference and literature book.
