What a legend! Has anyone else ever combined such kindness, generosity, wisdom, wit, innovation and commercial flair as Philip? He would always liven up a conference session and his occasional irreverent remarks about other people / companies / institutions were always so funny.

Sorry to hear this news - PK made my first job in publishing fun AND challenging. Such a formative time - thank you and RIP.

John Skelton

When I was a young independent publisher, Philip often shared invaluable advice (as well as gossip); and he once took a panicked phone call from me, then put me in touch with someone who actually helped our business survive into better times. Over lunch with him, I couldn't always catch his muttered comments, but always hoped his wit was skewering someone other than myself. An irreverent, kindly and very successful giant amongst publishers.

A real inspiration to me, and wonderful fun - I will miss the ability you had to make me laugh at one of your asides - even at the most inappropriate moments!

Philip was such a good friend and mentor, and incredibly generous in the way he supported other publishers. His advice and guidance was invaluable. I learnt more from Philip than anyone else I ever work for or with, and I am very grateful and honoured to have known him. Like many others I will really miss him.

Philip was an inspiration to young entrants to the publishing business when they encountered him on panels at conferences and on training courses some decades ago. He stood out from the crowd, and was a breath of fresh air. His influence was substantial, and will live on.

Kate Pocock

Martha Halford

To a great and kind publisher who has influenced both professionally and from a human point of view many of his employees.

Sophia Blackwell

I enjoyed my time at Kogan Page and have fond memories of hanging out with Philip on the stand at London Book Fair. A great career and life.

Trevor Goul-Wheeker

Philip was a good friend throughout my career in the book industry, always ready to help and advise, usually with a twinkle in his eye and occasionally with a bit of mischief to spice up the conversation. We will all miss him greatly, but are fortunate to know his daughter will continue to fill the void, both in business and friendship.

Stephen Lustig

Philip was inspiritional - he showed us how to be a passionate publisher, do deals, have fun, and make witty, and sometimes rude, remarks about anyone and everyone when appropriate. I particularly remember occasions when a pompous speaker at a conference would be cut down to size by a PK question from the floor. He will be missed.

Steve Jones

I'm indebted to Philip and all at Kogan Page for being a source of support during my first job in publishing at Kogan Page - lots of fond memories. And what a fantastic company PK created to be schooled in - at ease with trade, educational and specialist publishing, and still going strong under Helen's leadership.

Rest in peace, Philip. Your many friends at Ingram have you and your family in our thoughts at this time.

A great independent publisher and a true original. His humour and colourful turn of phrase were always memorable - although I can't possibly share here what he used to call me whenever we met. RIP Philip.

Such sad news. Philip gave me my first management role way back in the 80s. He was an inspirational publisher and I learnt so much from him. My time at KP was a very happy one. RIP Philip.

Penny Mountain

I am so sad to hear of Philip's death. I thought he was eternal. He was such a joy to know - funny, wicked (but always with a twinkle), and generous with his knowledge-sharing when I was a green journalist in the book trade. A table with Philip on it at any trade function would be the most entertaining (and noisy).

Diane Spivey

In memory of a great man and a publisher who was independent in every sense of the word. Over many years our relationship developed from combative (he was a slow convert to the work of Women in Publishing, I recall!) to friendly banter to true admiration for his insight and knowledge of the publishing business. He will be sorely missed.

In memory of a great character and instinctive publisher, who taught me a lot. Philip was my boss from 1984-1990. This was the era of the Publisher's Lunch - many happy memories of 3-hour meetings with authors and customers at Frederick's and Lescargot. Philip always chose the second cheapest wine on the menu and was never short of opinions! He was kind, generous, sharp-witted and inclusive. Road trips to Frankfurt, IPG conferences and irrereverant publishing meetings filled with jokes and PK's special sayings are indelibly etched on my memory. Thank you Philip, RIP.
