Euan Henderson obituary

My friend and colleague Euan Henderson, who has died aged 71, was in turn a publisher, publishing educator and priest. His early career was at Oxford University Press, both in Oxford and as manager of OUP's Central African branch. Later he ran export sales at Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

Born in Scotland, he grew up in Oxford, where he trained at Blackwell's bookshop from the age of 18. It was while representing OUP in Europe that he met Karin, a German bookseller, who moved to Britain when they married 50 years ago.
