Bio
Coco Corr
I had the privilege to work alongside Sara at Sokol Books. I was always so impressed by her strong work ethic, she was always happy to go the extra mile in order to help complete tasks. Sara is incredibly passionate about books and immensely intelligent - she constantly pushes herself to learn more and improve. She never fails to find something interesting in her research on books, and as a result she writes the most beautiful and fascinating descriptions of books. Sara knows 9 languages and is hugely knowledgeable about books as a whole. She was always keen to share an interesting fact about the books binding or the provenance, I learnt a lot from her! I dearly miss our jokes over our morning coffee! She would make an excellent asset to any books business!
