There are 5 chromolithographs of groups of animals - the poultry proud, the rest "sweet".

Greening, Binder 183, Fleet Street on back pastedown, faded signature on front free endpaper.The spine is a bit darkened with one very short pull-off-the-shelf split at the top, but this is a very good copy; considering its age it feels almost "fine"; few comparable copies can have survived.

Leaves from my Portfolio - A Member of (Glasgow) University Council (Walter Wardlaw)
Price : £22.00
Publisher : Glasgow: Printed for Private Use, by W. Anderson Eadie
Published : 1869
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
Jacket : No Jacket
152 page slim volume of poetry bound in classic dark green cloth of the period, with title and triple-ruled panel in gilt on the front board. At the time of entry we seem to have the author's remaining stock of three copies, all basically in very good condition apart from the usual minor faults such as darkening of the cloth and foxing of endpapers.The first copy is signed by the author in an aged hand under the preface and dedication to gis daughter Ellinor Halcro-Wardlaw. This double-barelled name seems to have emigrated to America; does it survive? The poetry does not entirely pass the "poetical verbiage" test: a quick check finds: fain, cleave, rill, e'en and o'er -but he seems to resist the temptation of "azure".

The first facsimile edition. Pages near fine, most sections still uncut, though the richly toned printer's ink has resulted in much ghostly "set-off" - I presume all copies are the same. Endpapers foxed. The binding is (greetings to Barry Mackay and others} in my opinion ART-vellum, a narrow one and a half inch long triangle of which has been torn off at the head of the spine, showing cream card beneath. Blind-patterned boards in VG condition, spine somewhat worn. Overall a VG copy of this spectacular eccentricity.

Price : £90.00

Published : 1896
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
A landscape format celebration of Boots the Chemists in 1896, having then over 60 branches in 28 towns, with foreword by Jesse himself. Some 60 leaves,nine and a half by seven inches, printed on one side only, in black and red, with photographs as photogravures, floral endpapers and dark green cloth binding with decorative panel and lettering on the front.The contents comprise: Title page, map showing branch location (still confined to the North Midlands, South Yorkshire and East Anglia), a five page history of the company,then some 45 photogravures (or other type of lithographs)of the branches - some showing shop fronts, some the interiors and fittings. These are grouped into seven "sub-regions", for each of which there is a one page introduction describing the towns and Boots' arrival in the district.The book concludes with a 6 page list of the towns in which Boots are established, with an entertaining and provoactive description of each - for instance, Norwich "clings to old-time ways and methods", Mansfield is "wealthy and progressive", Kettering "thinks there is nothing like leather", Doncaster "An important Center of the Great Northern Railway, which is said to end in a field a few miles outside the town." This copy is in very good condition apart from the parting of the endpapers, rendering the linen hinges visible and strained. The fore-runner of numerous, but usually smaller-format, books about chain shop branches, often published by the Cooperative Societies.

The Joy of Mumming! Among the compelling effects created by this troupe is that of living statues, now a big feature of street entertainment in Covent Garden, for instance.The cult of the "VW Microbus" is also nurtured. 24 illustrated pages, square format, bound in limp card covered in what another dealer calls "velour", royal blue, to the front which is attached a tangle of red wool. Judging by ghostly "snail trails" this wool migrates from time to time.Does it belong, or is it a hitch-hiker? The book was owned by spinner and weaver Pauline Hinchcliffe, ex "Spinners" folk band Like the artists, I too was born in 1944, and I founded this business in 1974, so can be briefly nostalgic before returning to the present Golden Age!?

The contents are separately paginated for each lecture, the spirit of which is LIBERAL and RADICAL! A.S.Neill, even, would probably have approved of Mr. Fowler's enlightened sentiments.

Price : £75.00
Publisher : Malta:Empire Press

Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Fine
Jacket : No Jacket
A very lovely, scholarly and intriguing little book. 58 pages, plus two blank leaves at the back, one at the front, a card leaf at back and front, then the endpapers; the whole bound in half vellum (art-vellum?) and maroon close-wove buckram, about 7 inches by 4 in size. I beieve that the titling on the spine is calligraphically hand-lettered. It is a re-edited re-publication of "Xi jgheid il-Malti", presumably entirely in Maltese, by the same author and "practicably unobtainable" at the time of publication of this book, now itself "practically unobtainable" Each story is followed by copious historical and linguitic notes. There is a red smudge on two pages and a tiny blot of resin on the back cover, otherwise a fine copy. I hope we are not being too greedy.Margaret Murray was assistant to Flinders Petrie and herself excavated at many places in the Near East, inluding Malta during 1921-23. She was born in 1863 and still going in 1963, (ref. autobiography "My First Hundred Years"

There can be no doubt of who it is a model of, though from being so much with him and knowing every feature better than anyone else I do not perhaps see it so like as others do, even my sisters. Your generosity enables me to give one bust to a cousin who will I know value it immensely. You will accept my sincere thanks and believe me to remain yours truly and obliged, M A Gordon. I do not think I sent you a copy of my brother's last words, which I now enclose hoping you may care to keep them. I have not said how much I admire your bust, it is so beautifully executed".

The spine is dated 1897 at the foot. In original slipcase, worn, the illustrated front-of-box paper darkened but colorful and complete apart from two very small edge losses. The weight would involve extra postage abroad, but we can send to most mainland British addresses free of extra charge. The full price in 1896/7 was seven guineas, the equivalent of around £800 today, though I dare say some were sold more cheaply.

Price : £7,95
Publisher : Cromford, England: Scarthin Books
Published : 1994
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Soft
Condition : New
Jacket : No Jacket
Handsome 112 page large format illustrated limp-back in pictorial woven-finish card covers. Local historian Terry was a hard-living ex-miner with terrific drive, enthusiasm and knowledge and with an ability to tell a tale that could have earned him a living as a Victorian boys' story writer. This is a human document produced at the zenith of our publishing adventure - exhausted and broke I never produced as much as well again after 1994, but I am proud of this one (designed by Pamela Hopkinson).

Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good

11.5X9 inches; 40pages on a watermarked, laid paper bound in quarter black cloth (spine strip) and tangerine boards lattered in black. this copy with a handwritten correction ion proofreader's convention to the poem on P.34 and inscribed by the author to Mrs.Chas. Foot, "Copy No. 28" -so probably no more than 100 or so printed. Longmans published his poems in 1928 and indeed these are vivid and emotional and lacking in "poeticisms" other than "'til". the date we give is a guess; maybe a year or two earlier or later.

Tucked in is an article from "Lincolnshire Life March 1969" (written in ballpoint) on William Marwick the executioner who developed the long drop. A fascinating example of Sydney Dernley's continuing and historical interest in his one-time occupation and those others who pursued it.

The illustrated stiff paper covered board cover is marked and the spine has some loss at top and bottom and some wearing away of lettering, but still a strong book and very clean inside (one small corner torn off one leaf without affecting the text."De boeken uit de "Madeliefjes-Serie",veroveren met de hartjes der kleinen, de warme sympathie der grooten." This seems to be a very rare books, but do any of you Dutch people want it?? I did try to learn some Dutch (which might be the common language of northern Europe were it not so "double-Dutch" to the English ear)) once by stirring English and Deutsch zusammen in my Kopf,but that doesn't work.
