Publisher : AD. Donker Rotterdam
Published : 1948
Edition : 1st Edition

Condition : Very Good
Jacket : J
First English text edition 1948. Very good/good. Rotterdam:TGTE is a folio sized volume in a green cloth binding with gilt decoration and lettering to spine. It has an illustrated DW, now in a plastic wrap (the top edge of DW is creased with some small tears). There are some reproductions of historical blockcuts, maps, and (by my count) 24 black and white plates. Plates seem to have either one or (mainly) two photographs on each side. A few photographs are historical but most show the docks as they are (in 1948) being reconstructed and extended. (The Europort idea was clearly being developed only three years after the war). I guess the book (all text in English, pages 259) was produced as a sales item, to sell the new port to the world's shipping lines. But it is much more than a catalogue. Please check postage due to size.

Secret History of "The International" Working men's Association - Yorke, Onslow
Price : £38.00
Publisher : Boswell Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd., London
Published : 1921
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Soft
Condition : Very Good
Jacket : No Jacket
Very clean and tight copy. (iv)+ 72pp. T.G.-H. informs me of the following background to this title: Apparently Onslow Yorke is a pseudonym for William Hepworth Dixon, He seems to be well-known for a number of books on the British penal system, a book on America, the Tower of London and Spiritual Wives, which is referenced as being on free love (which would tie in with his interest in the International Workingmen's Foundation and Marx's part in its foundations.) Dixon apparently was quite the world-traveller and in a biography he is placed as being in Switzerland at that historic meeting when the International was founded. So far the only copies of my book I have found are listed in the British Library, which I presume makes it very rare.You might be interested to know that in his description of a ship bearing the founding members of the International setting off from Geneva to the other side of the lake (France), as the ship left shore they ran up the red flag of revolution. The description is on pages 67 & 68 of my edition. It was the red flag without the Swiss cross and I think represents perhaps the first use of this international symbol of reveolution. It is a stirring description, including the reaction of the horrified bourgoisie.

Six Great Derbyshire Domesday Pedigrees - Yeatman, Pym
Price : £50.00
Publisher : Pym Yeatman, 15 Greenhill Road, Harlesden, N.W.
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
This comprises an extract from "the forthcoming 10th Section of the Feudal History of Derbyshire", but contains also a long and curious Petition submitted to the "High Court of Justice Chancery Division Mr. Justice Kekewich". It concerns a boycott which destroyed the author's practice as a barrister, and also the irregular scrapping and then sale for large sums at auction of documents from the Public Record Office. (It's so difficult to resist the temptation to fish good things out of the skip, isn't it, even if you were yourself instrumental in their being there.) This book was issued by the author in blue paper wraps, without a title page. This copy is quarter skived deep Burgundy morocco-textured leather and cloth covered boards, like the usual "Feudal History" binding and is inscribed by Pym Yeatman to Mr. and Mrs. Moss, BUT contains the armorial bookplate of Evelyn Dawsonne Heathcote, BUT is stamped in gilt on the front board S.J.D. - perhaps a Drury. Within, loose a MS letter to "Dear Madame" concerning the Wakelyn family.
