IAN Norrie, legendary independent bookseller and publishing guru, who ran the High Hill Bookshop in Hampstead for 32 years, died on Saturday at the North London Hospice. He was 82.

He championed literature as much as he backed such causes as the Hampstead Theatre and Burgh House during his years at the High Hill, once a pivotal place for celebrity book launch parties and gossip in Hampstead High Street.
