Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. Undated [c1932]. Reprint. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20 × 14.5cm, 317pp. The most famous Scottish novel of the early twentieth century, The House with the Green Shutters has remained a landmark on the literary scene ever since it was first published in 1901. Determined t…o overthrow the sentimental 'kailyard' stereotypes of the day, George Douglas Brown exposed the bitter pettiness of commercial greed and small-town Scottish life as he himself had come to know it. More than this, however, his novel lays bare the seductive and crippling presence of patriarchal authority in Scottish culture at large, symbolised by the terrible struggle between old John Gourlay and his weak but imaginative son. With five illustrations by Sidney Stanley. Condition: The book is in good readable condition, but with foxing to the green cloth and tanning to the page edges. The dustwrapper is very scruffy, with scratches and chips all over but is now within a protective sleeve.

Design, production and text by David Douglas Duncan. Red cloth stamped in gold. Lacking dust jacket. "To those who rushed past Mr. Forss on Midtown…Manhattan sidewalks, he was just another street peddler. But that all changed in 1980, when the renowned photojournalist David Douglas Duncan encountered him near Grand Central Terminal and was riveted by his work. A former staff photographer for Life magazine, Mr. Duncan decided to use his influence to promote Mr. Forss. Mr. Duncan published a photography book, "New York/New York: Masterworks of a Street Peddler," through McGraw-Hill in 1984, and it made Mr. Forss a sensation."-nyt.

Risdon from The Hume Books Trust. Rare volume from the author, E. Douglas Hume, writer of "Bechamp or Pasteur" which was a divergence in 1925 from H…ume's less weighty earlier works.

Presented here is a book about unusual people.
