Other InformationDate at which this form of name was used is uncertain. Probably at least from the death of G. I. Ellis in 1902 (the form Ellis & Elvey was apparently discontinued some years earlier), from which time the business was carried on by Ellis's former assistants James Joseph Holdsworth and George Smith. (Not to be confused with the firm of Peter Ellis.) Smith published a history of the firm (and its predecessors) in 1928, as The oldest London bookshop (not yet available for consultation). The Manchester Guardian published an article about the closing of the firm in March 1937. [John Lancaster from Lawrence Worms's blog The bookhunter on safari]
