Nick Hamlyn is the author of the Penguin Price Guide For Record And CD Collectors, which ran into six editions. He is the proprietor of Pied Piper Records, the well-known collectors’ record shop (now just online) in Northampton, and has been a record collector himself since the beginning of the sixties. Four Bop Drop, an improv quartet having Nick as a member, had a CD released on the SLAM label. Music For A Desert Island is his first novel, available as a Kindle e-book on Amazon.
