Times of India Illustrated Weekly newspaper; three copies from 1907 and 1908 - [None]
Price : £25.00
Publisher : Times of India
Published : 1907
Binding : Soft
Condition : Poor
Three copies of this fascinating weekly, issued each Wednesday, tattered with slight loss at hinges or where the odd corner has been torn off but subsantially preserved. each copy should consist of a 36 page illustrated newspaper with advertisements plus, in the centre, an additional four-page supplement of captioned half-tones printed on a coated paper. The whole was finally "wrapped" in a four-page advertising section on a "yellow" paper. The copy of September 16th. 1908 (VollXXIX, No.38) is complete (apart from above-mentioned damage). The copy of October 16th. 1907 lacks the front leaf of the advertsing section. The copy of July 8th. 1908 lacks all the advertsing wrap-round.We include a few pages of a fourth issue, with centre supplement, to make up this "lot". Despite the damage, there is a wealth of information and characteristic illustrations of the Raj at its zenith - reviews and photographs of regiments and the police, polo, weddings, events at Poona - so it really was like that! a rare survival; all this must have been posted to the preserving household climate of Derbyshire (one stamp and address survive).

Tragedies of Eastern Life An Introduction to the Problems of Social Psychology - Lim Boon Keng
Price : £200.00
Publisher : Shanghai: The Commercial Press, Limited
Published : 1927
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
Not in the British Library Catalogue, although the author appears as an editor in just two other publications concerned with "The Straits".(iv)+264 pp,"small octavo" bound in navy blue cloth with gilt lettering on front board and spine. Only the sans-serif lettering of the spine pronounces that this not printed in Britain. The text is a novel concerning the relations and conflicts between native Malay life, Islam and the Chinese, all living under British administration. The author obviously received a very high class Britsh education, quoting Ovid in Latin on the title page. The book opens with a panegyric to the land of Malaya "so abundant in native wealth" and the "mild and benign influence of the British". Things become less orderly later on. An obviously partisan novel nevertheless casting light on matters particularly of interest to the World eighty years later.

Velocipedes, Bicycles, and Tricycles: How to Make and How to Use them. with a Sketch of their History, Invention, and Progress - " Velox "
Price : £450.00
Publisher : George Routledge & Sons
Published : 1869
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Good
"Whether velocipedes are only the "toy of the hour," or are destined to become a permanent adjunct to our civilization and every-day life or not, no one can doubt their extending popularity." (from the Preface). Small octavo, 156X96 mm pages, paginates as follows.Pastedowns and both sides of free-endpapers, front and back are publisher's booklists. (3), vi-viii,(1),x,(1), 12-127,(1). There is absolutely no sign of anything having been removed, so it seems that the front free endpaper is included in the pagination, and that are therefore only 126 pages, excluding endpapers (or 130 including). The binding is sand-brown paper-covered card with lettering in several faces and a line drawing of "The French Bicycle" on the front, adverts for cough lozenges and insect destroying powder on the back cover! The spine carries the title longitudinally, the British way round. Condition of the text VG, though one section has been bound slightly displaced vertically; the hinges are sound. Condition of cover "good", i.e. with surface wear but no loss of surface except at bumped corners,joints and top and bottom of spine, which shows creasing that somewhat interferes with the lettering. Rare complete survival of an early and ephemeral type of publication. I have failed to look after my pre-war hub-braked tandem properly, time someone else looked after this!

Views of Premises Boots Limited Chemists, Stationers, and Mineral Water Manufacturers - Boot, Jesse (Managing Director)
Price : £90.00
Publisher : Nottingham:Boots Limited Steam printing Department
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!?

Wild Flowers and their Teachings - Howard, Mary Matilda
Price : £200.00
Publisher : Bath: Binns and Goodwin
Published : 1848
Edition : 2nd Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
"this enlarged volume", to quote the preface, is the 1848 second edition after the 1845 first. The name of the anonymous authoress we have learned from the British Library Catalogue. This has iv+94pp+2pp publisher's advertisement, all edges gilt. The binding is a very pleasing textured crimson cloth with gilt tile and floral decoarative saga on spine and front board. Both boards have also a blind embossed panel with blind embossed floral motifs in the corners.Appearance very like "A Casquet of Flowers" and other Ladies' Gift Books of this period. Donald Gibson, one of "our binders" (only 24 minutes from Cromford) has done a fine job of relaying the cloth over a new matching spine, hardly noticeable, using good quality pale sage endpapers.I have not counted the real pressed-flower plates so as to disturb as little as possible. One specimen is loose and about one side frond of one plate can be seen by its impression to have been lost. Now presents itself as a fine copy.
