Meeting royalty
Barbara Woodyatt Congrats on the Warrant. 26 January 2012 at 13:23
A Royal Warrant, By Royal Appointment, was granted to Annie Quigley the owner of Bibliophile by the Duke of Edinburgh in 2011. It is regarded as a ‘Peerage for Trade’, in recognition of quality service and excellence to the royal household and came about after 20 years providing books to the royal libraries. Only two other booksellers (and no publisher) from the entire publishing industry hold a Warrant - Hatchards of Piccadilly and Heywood’s Antiquarian of Mayfair.
Very excited as we are attending Guildhall for the Royal Warrant Holders Annual Banquet. It is a white tie affair - tailcoats and tiaras - so Vicky here at Bib is doing my hair and Wilma and the girls have given me fashion advice.
We sat at Top Table with the Duke of Edinburgh. On being introduced, he announced that he uses Bibliophile a lot and how long our newspaper is. That's what keeps me busy I replied. The Guildhall Art Gallery where we met was full of beautiful Pre-Raphaelite oil paintings by Rossetti et al, the banqueting hall a medieval walled gothic arched hall with balconies where buglers played, everyone was dressed to the nines, all eyes on Prince Philip and our Top table of 20 guests. Only 900 guests watching...
Friends and colleagues in publishing have been thrilled that we are meeting royalty and that our small company has been recognised for service and quality.

To read an article from Sunday Telegraph 4th December 2011
The Sunday Telegraph published a supplement on 4th December about Royal Warrants and featuring some Royal Warrant holding companies. The focus was on the innovation, craftsmanship and tradition that are characteristic to Royal Warrant Holding companies. The supplement also had a seasonal slant to it with a view to Christmas sales.

Deric Longden
Deric Longden is our Editor Annie's step-dad. His first book DIANA'S STORY was made into a film called Wide Eyed and Legless starring Julie Walters as Diana, Dame Thora Hird and Jim Broadbent as Deric.
Thora Hird also starred in his second film and she received a BAFTA for Best Actress for LOST FOR WORDS. Deric and his wife Aileen Armitage flew to New York to pick up an International EMMY.
Deric's brilliantly written, funny and unbearably sad film Lost For Words was on ITV again. Pete Postlethwaite plays Deric.
Both books had gone out of print, so now Bibliophile has, as a publisher, created eBooks of both titles which are available on Amazon Kindle (click links).

Meeting Royalty Again!
As a Royal Warrant
By Appointment Grantee, our Annie was invited to St James's Palace to meet HRH
The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles. It was her chance to wish his father a very
happy birthday!
A Royal Warrant, By Royal Appointment, was granted to Annie
Quigley the owner of Bibliophile by the Duke of Edinburgh in 2011. It is regarded
as a ‘Peerage for Trade’, in recognition of quality service and excellence to
the royal household and came about after 20 years providing books to the royal
libraries. Only two other booksellers (and no publisher) from the entire publishing industry hold
a Warrant - Hatchards of Piccadilly and
Heywood’s Antiquarian of Mayfair.
Very excited as we are attending Guildhall for the
Royal Warrant Holders Annual Banquet. It is a white tie affair -
tailcoats and tiaras - so Vicky here at Bib is doing my hair and Wilma
and the girls have given me fashion advice.
We sat at Top Table with the Duke
of Edinburgh. On being introduced, he
announced that he uses Bibliophile a lot and how long our newspaper is.
That's what keeps me busy I replied. The Guildhall Art Gallery where we
met was full of beautiful Pre-Raphaelite oil paintings by Rossetti et
