This week in Scottish publishing history:-
Luckily, Thomas Nelson had moved quite a few staff up to their Edinburgh offices at the start of the Second World War, but some remained in London. But the London offices at 35-36 Paternoster Row were destroyed in the Blitz, on 29 Dec 1940. Temporary premises were found with another publisher, Duckworth at 3 Henrietta Street. Not until 1954 were larger premises found for Nelson’s at 36 Park Street, in Mayfair.
