Covers nice and clean, with just some light marks and creasing commensurate with age and handling. Rear cover has slight crease to top edge and light crease to bottom corner, affecting the last few pages.

In an interview with Christopher Ricks in 1979, McEwan commented, "They were a kind of laboratory for me. They allowed me to try out different things, to discover myself as a writer." As a piece of work that portrays McEwan, the writer, at his youngest, it is perhaps fitting that the dominant theme is that of adolescence, of the blurry and perilous divide between childhood and adulthood; in addition themes of sex, perversion, and the grotesque in its many forms feature throughout. [Quote from Wiki about McEwan's first book of short stories] ***A very good copy of this famous literary magazine, which includes an early publication by Ian McEwan. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Original Blue Hardbacks. Condizione: Very Good Plus. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good Plus. New Edition. 1984. 11 volume set (complete) with the original clear plastic wrappers. New Edition to which are added indexes and remains of the lost charter rolls. Publisher's blue binding with gilt titles to spines. Books and wrappers all in excellent condition. Pages browning slightly. Contents clean with no inscriptions. PLEASE NOTE: very heavy set - will require some extra postage for non-UK customers. "THE twelve rolls and one book which are printed in this volume contain all that remains of the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland prior to 1424, the date of James I's release from captivity. They were printed in 1814 under the authority of the Royal Commissioners, in a folio volume, edited by Thomas Thomson. The "Domesday type" was employed, reproducing in conventional forms the contractions of the original MS. This edition deserves its high reputation; it is a marvel of accuracy, typographically and otherwise. In 1878 the publication in an abridged form and in octavo of the Great Seal Register from 1424 downwards was undertaken under the direction of the Deputy Clerk Register of Scotland; nine volumes have appeared, bringing the record down to 1659. The first of these was published in 1882, edited by Mr. J. Balfour Paul (now Sir J. B. Paul, Lyon King of Arms). The following is extracted from his preface:- "The folio published in 1814 will be reckoned the first volume of the work, and this the second. Hereafter the first might with advantage be reprinted in the same form as this and the volumes that are to follow, extending the contractions which so frequently embarrass the reader, and adding to it, as an Appendix, a revised edition of the index of missing charters published by Mr. William Robertson in 1798, so as to give as complete a view as is now possible of the contents of the Register from 1306 to 1424, as it stood about the beginning of the seventeenth century." The present volume carries out the project thus indicated with a little enlargement. The text is a reprint of the 1814 edition, revised from the MS. record, with contractions extended, use of capital letters modernized, and punctuation on a uniform system. The Appendices give what is known of the lost rolls.".…

Two volume set featuring full twelve month run for 1880 of The Atlantic Monthly. Each hardcover, H 24.5cm x L 16.25cm, uniformly bound in half-leather bindings - black leather spines and black cloth boards with black leather corners; both volumes with bindery tickets "Keim, Roesli & Co., | Book Binders | and | Blank Book Manf. | 314 Olive St., St. Louis." on front pastedown of XLV and on rear pastedown of XLVI. Bindings are likely quite contemporary to the volumes as Keim, Roesli & Company is listed in an 1879 St. Louis city directory. Spines decorated with four slightly raised bands and gilt stamping with latter having some flaking loss but otherwise still bright; both volumes have slender shallow leather loss at both their lower and upper front and rear joints but bindings remain firm. Edges toned with a few small stains; past owner's name in pencil at top of each volumes' page 1; mild toning and occasional light foxing to interior leaves. VOLUME XLV JAN.-JUNE 1880: i-iv, 1-860 pages; wide swath of strong surface abrasion to front board with slender area of similar abrasion at fore-edge area of rear board; cloth loss at board edges too with rear board's bottom leather corner worn; pages 149-182 have shallow dings/short tears at their bottom margins. VOLUME XLVI JULY-DEC. 1880: i-iv, 1-868 pages; nicks to spine head; faint dark mottling to rear board; strong slender abrasion at both boards' bottom leather corners. Still an attractive set despite first volume's marred exterior cloth. Whereas bookseller tickets for 19th century St. Louis are not too unusual, contemporary bookbindery tickets are quite uncommon. The two volumes feature contributions by Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, Robert Louis Stevenson, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, John Burroughs, John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes [Sr], among many others. Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 6.5 pounds (2.94 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.…
