— Review of The Library : A Catalogue of Wonders Stuart Kells , 2017 autobiography

'Stuart Kells is a young (some might say middle-aged, but these things are relative) bibliophile, just hitting his straps as an author. He served his apprenticeship as a book-runner, book collector, dealer, scholar and academic, and has previously written two books : Rare A Life Among Antiquarian Books (Folio 2011), a biography of bookseller Kay Craddock; and Penguin and the Lane Brothers  (Black Inc,., 2015), the history of the famous imprint and its founders, which was the winner of the 2015 Ashurst Business Literature Prize, administered by the State Library of New South Wales. Wit his wife Fiona, he was part of the team which edited Outback Penguin - Richard Lane's Barwell Diaries (Black Inc. & The Lane Press, 2016).' (Introduction)

— Appears in: Biblionews and Australian Notes and Queries , June no. 370 2011; (p. 51-66)
1 6 y separately published work icon Australian Book Collectors : Some Noted Australian Book Collectors and​ Collections of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Charles Sidney Stitz (editor), Bendigo : Bread Street Press , 2010 Z1758280 2010 reference 'Australian Book Collectors charts the lives and fascinating collecting careers of more than a hundred bibliophiles who lived during the first two completed centuries of Australia's history, first as a disparate group of British colonies, and then as an independent commonwealth. Biographical accounts of the collectors are given, together with details of their collecting careers, outlines of the collections and of their fates. Some of the collectors were also authors, and in those cases their major works are noted. Provenance is an important focus of the book, and attention is given to available information on the bookplates, booklabels, shelf marks, signatures and other marks of ownership employed by the collectors.'
