Never ran across the gentleman, but the Left Book Club published a monthly newsletter
(called, unsurprisingly, _Left Book News_), and there should be something in the issue
that promoted Lewis's book. There's an article by Stuart Samuels, "The Left Book Club" (J.
of Contemporary History 1 (1966)) which might be helpful. I expect there are more recent
articles. Gollancz published an autobiography, and I believe there's at least one
biography of him. You might also try biographies of John Strachey, probably the best known
British Marxist economist in the '30s. There's one by Hugh Thomas, from his Labourite
days, and two more recent ones, the authors of which I can't recall.
 
Good luck.
