'To the Letter' tells the story of our remarkable journey through the mail. From Roman wood chips discovered near Hadrian's Wall to the wonders and terrors of email, Simon Garfield explores how we have written to each other over the centuries and what our letters reveal about our lives. Along the way he delves into the great correspondences of our time, from Cicero and Petrarch to Jane Austen and Ted Hughes and John Keats, Virginia Woolf, Jack Kerouac, Anais Nin and Charles Schulz, and traces the very particular advice offered by bestselling letter writing manuals. He uncovers a host of engaging stories, including the tricky history of the opening greeting, the ideal ingredients for invisible ink, and the sad saga of the dead letter office. As the book unfolds, so does the story of a moving wartime correspondence that shows how letters can change the course of life.

He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work "The Gulag Archipelago" "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.' (Wiki) ***First impression of the first UK edition.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Jacket by Rafaella Romaya (illustratore). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of largely red jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, some slight yellowing and faint spotting to page block, some very slight damp cockling to prelims, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy. 375pp. After years of living in exile, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), returned to Russia in 1994 and published a series of eight powerfully paired stories. These groundbreaking stories, interconnected and juxtaposed using an experimental method Solzhenitsyn referred to as 'binary', join Solzhenitsyn's already available work as some of the most powerful literature of the twentieth century. With Soviet and post Soviet life as their focus, they weave and shift inside their shared setting, illuminating the Russian experience under the Soviet regime. The most eloquent and acclaimed opponent of government oppression, Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970, and his work continues to receive international acclaim. Available for the first time in English 'Apricot Jam and Other Stories' is a striking example of Solzhenitsyn's singular style and only further solidifies his place as a true literary giant. Quite a scarce book.

Back in Texas, he has become a national celebrity. A Fox News crew filmed Billy and the rest of Bravo squad defeating Iraqi insurgents in a ferocious firefight. Now Billy is a decorated soldier and Bravo's three minutes of extreme bravery under fire are a YouTube sensation. Seizing on this PR gift, The Bush administration has sent the surviving members of Bravo on a nationwide 'Victory Tour' to reassure the homeland. Today during the final hours of the tour, they arrive at Texas Stadium, guests of honour in a nationally broadcast Thanksgiving Day game. The story follows Billy and his fellow Bravos through a climactic afternoon, as they mix with the rich and powerful, endure the politics and affectations of their fellow citizens, aspire to sex and marriage with the famous Cowboys cheerleaders, share centre stage with Destiny's Child and attempt to close a movie deal. They will learn hard truths about love and death, family and friendship, duty and honour. Tomorrow, they must go back to war. Tender and full of humanity, this is a wickedly funny, powerfully contemporary novel about a young man, the citizens who sent him to war, the family he left behind and the era that let it happen. In Billy Lynn, Ben Fountain has created a new American hero for our times. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).

And do anything to keep one. The first time I saw you, you were standing at the far end of the playing field. You were looking down at your brown straggly dog, but then you looked up, your mouth going slack as your eyes clocked her, Alice Taylor. I was no different. I used to catch myself gazing at the back of her head in class, at her silky fair hair swaying between her shoulder blades. If you'd glanced just once across the field you'd have seen me standing in the middle on my own, looking straight at you, and you'd have gone back through the trees to the path quick, tugging your dog after you. You'd have known you'd given yourself away, even if only to me. But you didn't. You only had eyes for Alice. The author's debut novel, scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).

SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, ON TITLE PAGE. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, price clipped, no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 682pp, illustrated. Amazingly the first book of its kind, CHASING THE SUN is a cultural and scientific history of our relationship with the star that gives us life. Richard Cohen, applying the same mix of wide ranging reference and intimate detail that won outstanding reviews for 'By the Sword', travels from the ancient Greek astronomers to modern day solar scientists, from Stonehenge to Antarctica (site of the solar eclipse of 2003, when penguins were said to sing), Mexico's Aztecs to the Norwegian city of Tromso, where for two months of the year there is no Sun at all. He introduces us to the crucial 'sunspot cycle' in modern economics, the religious dances of Indian tribesmen, the histories of sundials and calendars, the plight of migrating birds, the latest theories of global warming, and Galileo recording his discoveries in code, for fear of persecution. And throughout, there is the rich Sun literature, from the writings of Homer through Dante and Nietzsche to Keats, Shelley and beyond. Blindingly impressive and hugely readable, this is a tour de force of narrative non fiction. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).

Edinburgh 1849. Despite Edinburgh being at the forefront of modern medicine, hordes of patients are dying all across the city, with doctors finding their remedies powerless. But it is not just the deaths that dismay the esteemed Dr James Simpson. A whispering campaign seeks to blame him for the death of a patient in suspicious circumstances. Simpson's protege Will Raven and former housemaid Sarah Fisher are determined to clear their patron's name. But with Raven battling against the dark side of his own nature, and Sarah endeavouring to expand her own medical knowledge beyond what society deems acceptable for a woman, the pair struggle to understand the cause of the deaths. Will and Sarah must unite and plunge into Edinburgh's deadliest streets to clear Simpson's name. But soon they discover that the true cause of these deaths has evaded suspicion purely because it is so unthinkable. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
