H. W. Glover

Bookseller at 114 Leadenhall Street in London from which JJ ordered several books. The son of a builder, Glover worked in clerical jobs before being taken on as a bookseller's assistant, probably in William Glaisher's "remainder and discount" bookshop, High Holborn. In 1904 he married Glaisher's daughter Alice, and soon established his own "publishers' remainders" bookshop in Leadenhall Street. By 1935 he had moved the business to nearby Creechurch Lane; in 1940 he signed a deed of assignment with creditors and appeared to stop trading. He died in 1958, leaving effects of about £1,200.
