Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 176 pp. Bookplate, otherwise, Fine; in a Very Good+ dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: Here, for the first time, the activities of aerial smugglers have been brought under review. In preparing this book the author has enjoyed full facilities for interviewing top customs officials; and records covering the past fifty years have been made available to him. Some incidents read more like fiction than fact. There is the story, for example, of the mysterious man in the green car who made fifty-seven flights across the Channel to organize a smuggling pipeline which extended over four countries. There are innumerable revelations concerning the activities of big-scale operators and their bids to win fabulous fortunes by smuggling gold, currency, diamonds, watches and dangerous drugs. There is a chapter on the wiles of expert women smugglers, and many sidelights are shed on the thousand-and-one tricks and stratagems devised by twentieth-century smugglers in their efforts to outwit the authorities.

Cloth, gilt cover device, 8vo, 372 pp, plates. The classic biographical and bibliographical account of Wise , expanded from the American edition published in 1939 as "Forging Ahead ". Highly readable, well-illustrated and fascinating. From the blurb: "In spite of the fame he attained before the exposure of many of the pamphlets in his Ashley Library, Wise was largely a Mystery Man. Practically nothing was known of his early origins and career. He was just accepted by the world as a wealthy, fastidious, and able connoisseur who was the possessor of superb collections of rare books and manuscripts. This work supplies his biographical background. But it does much more. Apart from information given by Wise to him personally, the author has had exclusive use of private papers of well-known men with whom Wise formed associations. In the building-up of his rich library he made great scoops. His most wonderful was the acquisition of the mass of Swinburne's unpublished manuscripts; and the author's two chapters giving a first-hand account of the astonishing events at the poet's retreat 'The Pines' brings out intimate and hitherto unpublished stories of Swinburne. Nor are these the only biographical sidelights. Into the general picture the author - partly from his personal reminiscences and partly from new sources - works in anecdotes and glimpses of Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, Edmund Gosse, Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelites, Dr Furnival, Clement Shorter, and that little known but much abused worthy Richard Herne Shepherd; all of which throw reflective light on the main character of this forthright book."

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 346 pp, ills, maps. From the blurb: "There have been various attempts to chronicle theatres and other places of public amusement, past and present- Pleasures of London differs from these in that the author regards the buildings as of less importance than the entertainments they housed. In this survey, his eye is on gaiety, thrills and laughter; on high spirits and the thorough enjoyment of a good cry; on wine, women and song, dancing, dice and the fun of the fair: and through them he examines that elusive thing, the pursuit of happiness. The lovers of good fellowship who made London a city of taverns, who created that extraordinary tradition which causes "three grown-ups to drag one child" to a pantomime or circus, who everywhere left signs of their past enjoyment so that street-corners seem to echo the shouts of departed glee - such people have rarely left their marks in the notebooks of historians. But Pleasures of London is concerned with the present and future as well. Present laughter springs from ancient mirth. The revival of interest in old music-halls, in the ballet and in the rebirth of Sadler's Wells makes a modernist of the historian and, having watched antiquarian zeal grow into twentieth century glamour, Willson Disher believes that the London depicted in these pages may foretell a new world altogether unlike the one forecast by gloomy prophets."
