Richard Booth lives in Hay Castle and is credited with transforming the town into a global attraction for second-hand book lovers. His family have lived in the area for more than a hundred years. The son of a garage mechanic, Richard Booth attended Rugby school and Oxford University. After graduating, he decided to return to his Mid Wales roots. Mr Booth, the self-styled 'King of Hay' is quite a controversial figure.
