Derek Gregory has written a nice tribute to geography editor John Davey, who died recently. Davey worked with Edward Arnold and Blackwell, and published David Harvey’s early books, as well as many others, including Derek’s Geographical Imaginations. I didn’t know him in person, but certainly knew of his reputation and the frequency with which he was mentioned in book acknowledgements says something of his considerable status in the field.

Update: Clive Barnett also remembers John Davey here.
