Liveryman Tatiana von Saxe Wilson once more brought the People's Book Prize to Stationers' Hall this year and in doing so again spread the word about what a fantastic venue it is. It always surprises members how many people there are in our industries who still have not heard about the Company and the Hall! Events such as Tatiana's which brings publishers, writers and journalists to the Hall for a ceremony which is covered by SKY News certainly help to spread the word.
