Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Unusual to find this in a complete unclipped jacket, and quite rare to find this book in any state at all. It is being a bit mean to describe this as just Very Good. It is, when you take age into consideration, probably more accurate to grade it Near Fine, and the book itself is also in that category. There is a former owner's discrete signature on the front end paper, and the top of the text block is a bit dust blown. The subject of the book is a look at suburban America and its sexual preoccupations. It does this in a witty, well written, way. It is also, at times, almost a serious social report. It is revealing of attitudes of the time, and we are talking about the cusp of the 50s and 60s, so things were different then. Read on, especially if you found the Kinsey Report a bit clinical. Text block is tanning on the edges, which is common with this book. 0.0 0.0 0.0.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Extremely rare to find a copy of the 1929 BBC Handbook with a great Art Deco colour jacket. Admittedly this is a damaged jacket; but there is enough of it to be worth protecting, and this is now safe inside a mylar sleeve. The book itself is in superb condition, Near Fine, and with no names, annotations or turned over corners. It is packed with fascinating articles and wonderful ads. This is of major interest to collectors of these handbooks. Great social history, too.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. VERY scarce in a complete jacket. A classic mystery, with long corridors, full moon monsters and the cracking of whips. Goodchild enjoyed great success with his Jack O' Lantern books, but this is brilliant. Okay, it is a pulp fiction, printed on rather thick paper, but despite showing its age a bit it is without owner names or library abuses. The protected jacket has some minor creases and chips but it is now safely covered in mylar.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. 1st Edition. RARE to find this book with a jacket. It is a damaged jacket, but it is just about there. The front panel has areas at the top edge that are missing, but nothing 'live' is lost. There are a few chips to the bottom edge as well. The front flap has the price, and is complete, as is the rear flap. The rear panel is not as damaged as the front, and the spine has the title word 'Peter' missing and at the bottom there is another section lost. But the jacket is more than a mere ghost, and although it is tatty it has protected the pale blue cloth board binding, which means the gilt titling is still bright. The text block is firm and clean, no markings or underlinings. This is not an ex-library copy. It does have a former owner's blind stamp on the half title, but this is rather attractive.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. A rare hardback first edition in a very good condition safe inside a jacket that is protected; and the jacket is unclipped and, considering its age, it is Fine. A superb and fairly scarce title for the collector.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. VERY RARE in this condition, and utterly collectable - this classic novel has a breadth of conception and an outstanding imagination; it is a cult classic, an astonishing piece of work that delights and entertains. This copy is the best one I have ever seen. The unclipped jacket close to perfect, especially considering its age. A work of rare achievement, and written with a poet's sensitivity. It has immense originality and it is hugely entertaining. Mrs Bratbe's August Picnic, published in 1965, reflected that. Anthony Burgess, one of several appreciative reviewers, wrote: 'Mrs Wheldon's Mrs Bratbe is as outrageous a prodigy as we have had this side of the war.'She then began work on a novel entitled Daughters of the Flood. During the next 15 years this spread to nine volumes and upwards of two million words. Those who have read parts of it, including James Hale, her editor, and Richard Simon, her agent, are emphatic about its force and originality. Hale pleaded with her to let him bring it out one volume at a time, but she was consumed with the idea of its wholeness and would not let it go. It obsessed her during those years, but after the death of her mother she lost interest in publishing it.From then on she was either content or self-condemned to write for writing's sake. The family moved to a magnificent house on Richmond Hill. The hospitality continued but Jay withdrew a little, sadly driven to this by an increasing deafness. For one as brilliant in conversation as she was, it was a cruel affliction. She wrote plays - one of which the Royal Court wanted to do but she preferred not to make the changes they suggested - poems, critical essays and long, Hertzogian letters. In the early 1980s her friends Norman and Midge Podhoretz asked her to become the UK executive director of the Committee for the Free World, briefly the intellectual opposition to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Its members were few, about 150, but distinguished: Bellow in the US, Stoppard in the UK. By that time her thinking was more Oakeshott than Laski.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. This was a ground breaking issue in 1967. First printing of a large format hardback in landscape format, beautifully produced by Nostalgia Press, with special care to reproduce the stunning line work of Alex Raymond. The cloth cover is beautifully gilt stamped with Alex Raymond's signature and the title. The endpapers are gorgeous. Taking the age into consideration this has few flaws; a former owner's signature, which is neat and dated '1967' is on the half title, and which dates this rather neatly; there are some slight foxing spots; the cover is complete but it has some fairly insignificant losses, chips and creases, but it is essentially complete and now protected. A super collectable of a true classic. Large format, very heavy, this might need extra postage charges depending on destination. Language: eng.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Chester Gould (illustratore). 1st Edition. A true pulp, and the paper used in this book's production has mellowed down to demonstrate that fact. It is brown as a smokers lung. Great jacket, absolutely terrific endpapers, and a total essential joy for the Tracy fan. Rare to find a copy as good and complete as this one. Please note that near Fine takes into account that this is now an old hardback first edition of a book produced with cheap materials. But that patina is just an additional joy to the true collector. Numerous superb graphic illustrations from Gould. Nice and square, no lean, and an extremely attractive uncommon first printing of the world first edition hardback. A former owner's name is almost lost on the front end paper. The killer kills, the moll purrs, the straight man wins and this is as good as it gets. 0.0 0.0 0.0.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. It is an unacceptable book if you apply today's values to it. BUT in its day it was an amusing account of geographic exploration. The author's exploration on the Amazon, Rio Negro, and overland to the Orinoco is related with zest and humour. It is redolent of its time, and to criticise it because it does not follow todays restrictions in attitudes is quite the wrong way to look at it. Think of it as another kind of Travels Of Marco Polo if you like. You do not read it because of its facts; it is mostly an enjoyable romp reflecting its time. Holdridge was attached to the Brooklyn Museum's Department of Ethnology and he wrote several books of fiction & non-fiction set on and around the Amazon. Book is graded Near Fine but that allows for its age. The protected jacket is complete despite minor chips and usage. There is a splendid Ex Libris pasted onto the rear of the front endpaper. The end papers, front and back, are a splendid map of the travels covered in the book, and an owner name is neatly incorporated in the front. There are two small numbers written on the base of the title page.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. A great copy of this superb comic novel, in a great jacket, now protected in mylar. This is the second printing, just one month after the first. Superb cover drawing by Nicolas Bentley, so charming it makes you want to pick it up right away and start reading. Very clean book, perfectly protected binding, because the jacket has obviously done its job. The jacket spine is dulled, as you might expect, but front and back are very good indeed, and dare one say it, worth framing. This book was one of Graham's biggest successes, and you will see why if you read it. A genuinely funny book, of its period but not in the slightest sense out of date in its ability to charm and make one chuckle. This is such a great Jacket; it has NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, and it is very rare thus. Considering how old it is - 1936! - it must be graded FINE.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Super scarce. This is a rare hardback first edition made even scarcer by a complete unclipped jacket.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20+ YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION BOOK with DJ of ONE OF THE MOST ESTEEMED BOOKS EVER WRITTEN: Dark Green Leatherette with C3 Catalog at front with 35-37 titles listed making this a September, 1917 surviving copy; BL logo on front; excellent Green Marble Endpapers (1917-19); gift inscription on half title page: "Mary F.D. Browne, Xmas 1917, Mrs. HWH" (See Scan); light wear on top and bottom spine edges. UNUSUAL, VERY RARE DUST JACKET: Jacket is designed by famed book illustrator Willy Pogany. Jacket lettering is in an Art Nouveau script font for 'Modern Library' and 'Limp Croft Leather'. Designer's name appears back, left corner in miniature print on rear jacket panel. Jacket flaps have a numbered Boni & Liveright C3 catalog list of Sept. 1917, which also includes the 'ghost title' ML # 29.0, W.H. Wright 'Best French Epigrams'. Jacket is generic with no book title, therefore could be put on any book in the catalog. Since jacket was produced between Sept. 1917 and Spring 1918 (catalog C4), it was perhaps used for holiday gift books, being more festive than the regular scholarly style jackets. Over the last 20 years collectors have reported only 3 others to exist, each on a different title, each with the top of the spine including the word 'Limp' removed so that the binding title shows 'Croft Leather" only; worn thru in places; 95 cent sticker on bottom; a few chips, tears and folds. QUITE A FIND!!
