Driff Field
Driff Field, also known as drif field, driffield or dryfeld was a figure in the British book-dealing world. ==History== He started as a booksearcher, obtaining titles to order for private customers, and in 1984 began producing a self-published guide to ''All The Secondhand and Antiquarian Bookshops in Britain''. Hugely successful, the guide was nonetheless idiosyncratic and often sarcastic, with entries such as: "the bks () are slowly transforming themselves back into rags"; "judging by body temp, shop seems to have expired in 1930"; "I could smell a bargain, pity was I had a cold that day"; "owner has been unwell recently with bad back (possibly caused by turning on the customers once too often)". Driff also launched a periodical called ''Driffs: The Antiquarian and Secondhand Fortnightly'', although the magazine was rarely published as frequently as that and folded after 22 issues.
