Kate McDonnell has had various roles in the book trade and is now deep into the world of rare and antiquarian books, whilst still managing to be in touch with Instabook, Facegram and all the other technologies that Mr Johnston clearly has not kept up to date with and hence does not know the name of, for this reason Kate drives the companies online marketing whilst still offering cheerful and enthusiastic assistance should you visit 6 Chancery Lane in person. An avid reader since she was a child she adores all types of fiction, with Charles Dickens a nostalgic favourite. As a true bibliophile who also likes to travel she tends to include literary stops to her itineraries, whether it’s diverting a European road trip to Maastricht just to visit Boekhandel Dominicanen or having a cocktail on the terrace of Pera Palace in Istanbul, where Agatha Christie wrote ‘Murder On The Orient Express’.
