Ben Weinreb Benjamin Weinreb (1912–1999) was a British bookseller and expert on the history of London who in 1968 sold his entire stock to the University of Texas.〔(Obituary: Ben Weinreb. ) Nicholas Barker, ''The Independent'', 7 April 1999. Retrieved 16 September 2014.〕 He developed a specialism in books about architecture about which his catalogues became important references in themselves.〔 ==Early life== Weinreb was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire. He attended the Whitgift School in Croydon but left at age 18 without any qualifications. He was dealing in books from a young age and soon after he left school, he bought an inscribed book by Max Beerbohm for sixpence from a barrow in Charing Cross Road and sold it on to a dealer for five shillings. He was taken on by Foyle's bookshop to fill shelves but was sacked for lateness. He tried his hand at writing about theatre with part-time bookselling but did not start his first proper book dealing business, Dipsas, until 1945.〔(Books of changes Ben Weinreb. ) Anthony Rota, ''The Guardian'', 12 April 1999.
