 | | Max Reinhardt, who died on Tuesday aged 86, was an example of a vanishing breed - a publisher who really relished books; his first signing was Bernard Shaw, and he went on to publish Solzhenitsyn, Georgette Heyer and Graham Greene, who became a personal friend. |
 | | Max, though, preferred British culture and, in 1938, persuaded his parents to set up a branch of the family firm in London, with him in charge. |
 | | Reinhardt always enjoyed the company of authors more than that of agents, and regarded some of the changes in publishing that took place during the 1970s and 1980s with suspicion. |
