Adriani, Gotz. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC.
Thames and Hudson, London, 1987, first British edition.
336 pp, 4to (12 5/8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0500091803 217 illustrations, 95 in colour. "Toulouse-Lautrec combined artistic reputation and popular appeal with a success scarcely equalled before or since, and his paintings and drawing s have a compelling immediacy that paved the way for a completely new conception of the portrayal of human life....The complete range of his rich and varied creative output is documented in this definitive study. Gotz Adriani, the distinguish e d G e r man art historian, analyses in depth over 100 works, representing every aspect of Lautrec's 'oeuvre' - fleeting sketches, charcoal portraits, nude studies, oils and pastels, pen and ink illustrations, poster designs, cartoons and caricatu re s a nd o f course, his famous studies of the circus, dance-halls, cafes and brothels. The author's painstaking research has shed new light on many facets of Lautrec's artistic methods and on the milieu in which he lived and worked. The detaile d c hr on olo gy of Lautrec's life in this volume is illustrated with rare contemporary photographs and enriched by telling extracts from letters and reviews of the artist's work - offering a vivid insight not only into Lautrec's private world but into th e w hole so cia l climate of Paris at the turn of the century...."

Alberts, Robert C. Maps by Samuel Hanks Bryant. THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF MAJOR ROBERT STOBO.
Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1965, first edition.
423 pp, 8vo (8 5/8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Map endpapers, b&w plates, maps. "(Robert Stobo) was involved in three famous battles of the French and Indian War. He served as an espionage agent for Washington behind French lines. Taken host age, he was sentenced to death after a show trial that caused international controversy. He twice escaped from a Quebec prison, and twice was recaptured. He escaped a third time to lead a small band through 350 miles of enemy territory. He was ha iled as a hero in Williamsburg and London. He was twice captured by pirates. He consorted on intimate terms with the great figures of his time. From statesmen to scoundrels, a rich and varied cast of supporting characters comes alive in this boo k . Among them are Colonel George Washington, Stobo's fiercely ambitious young commanding officer; Virginia's irascible Governor Dinwiddie, his friend; Canada's wily Governor Vaudreuil, his enemy; Captain Contrecoeur; his captor; The beautiful Rei ne Marie Duchesnay, daughter of a Quebec seigneur, who helped him to escape from prison; Lieutenant Simon Stevens, one of Rogers' Rangers, with whom he staged his daring flight down the St. Lawrence River; General James Wolfe, who put Stobo on his p ersonal staff at the siege of Quebec; General Jeffery Amherst, his patron; the great William Pitt who, at the height of his fame, received Stobo and gave him a substantial reward in hard pounds. This is history that reads like first-rate fiction. For all its zest, humor and hair-breadth excitement, the book is the work of a scholar, solidly documented and containing fresh material, much of it newly discovered and published here for the first time. It is both a full-dress biography of a rema rkable soldier and a major contribution to the understanding of a crucial era in our past." Place, date and signature in ink on free front endpaper; light edge wear; light browning to edges of text block; small dent to top edge of text block. Dust jacket has moderate edge wear/wrinkling, several small chips and tears, small area of surface paper loss on rear panel, light fading to spine color, light rubbing and a few tiny scuffs, now in a mylar sleeve.

Avon, New York, 1995.
320 pp, 7 7/8" H, soft cover. ISBN 0380724367 B&w photographs, maps. "Undaunted by Hannibal's elephants, Scipio Africanus ordered his outnumbered cavlary to charge directly toward the massive beasts - and, by doing so, saved Rome. Stonewall Jack son struck like l ightning throughout the Shenandoah Valley, with occasional feints toward Washington - and so frustrated a numerically superior Union Army. Despite few resouces and even less support from the German High Command, The 'Desert Fox ' , Erwin Rommel, cond ucted one of the most spectacular and successful campaigns in military history. In wars throughout the centuries, the fortunes of great armies have turned on surprise tactics and audacious maneuvers brilliantly conceived by un co n ventional officers. In this remarkable work, acclaimed historian Bevin Alexander examines some of the most astonishing campaigns and engagements of all time - providing a uniquely insightful look at the battlefield genius of Napoleon, Sher man , L aw rence of Arabia, Mac Arthur, and other military strategists who transformed rout into victory time and time again."

Alexander, Jean. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JEAN ALEXANDER.
Lennard, Oxford, 1989, first edition.
183 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 185291064X B&w photographs. "Born into a caring, hard-working family in a working-class district of Liverpool, Jean Alexander eventually became one of the four most popular women in En gland - the other three being Royal! She has been a mascot for a Welsh rugby team and a pin-up of the Falklands taskforce, and among her fans have been Lord Olivier, Sir John Betjeman, Michael Parkinson and the late Russell Harty. In 1895 she rece ived a "Performance of the Year' award from the Royal Television Society, and in 1987 made headline news when she left the cast of 'Coronation Street', the twice-weekly drama series that she had enlivened for twenty three years with her much-loved p ortrayal of 'Hilda Ogden'. In this entertaining autobiography Jean Alexander tells of her early life, her struggles as an actress, her years in 'The Street' and the opportunities that have opened up for her since she left. She has a vivid memory of Liverpool in the 1930's, and her portraits of the members of her family, especially her grandfather, as eccentric as any fictional character in a soap opera, are acutely drawn....Her account of her years in 'Coronation Street' is crammed with ent ertaining anecdotes, and includes a candid assessment of the character she played. She shows herself to be humorous, practical and clear-sighted." Light bump at top of spine, very small bump on fore-edge of front board, three tiny corner bumps . Dust jacket has been price-clipped, has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, very small dint on front flap-fold. Very Good/Very Good

Also travelling to the Wells is the Regent who rules in her stead - a mercilessly ambitious m a n i nfected with a great evil - the poisoned bite of a homunculus threatens his life and sanity.

The Wells will accept all who come with faith in their efficacy - good and evil alike.

Random House, New York, 2007, first edition.
160 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 9781400066414 "Here, in his first collection since his three hilarious classics 'Getting Even', 'Without Feathers', and 'Side Effects', Woody Allen has managed to write a book that not only a nswers the most profound questions of human existence but is also the perfect size to place under any short table leg to prevent wobbling. 'I awoke Friday, and because the universe is expanding it took me longer than usual to find my robe,' he e x p l ains in a piece on physics called 'Strung Out'. In other flights of inspirational sanity we are introduced to a cast of characters only Allen could imagine: Jasper Nutmeat, Flanders Mealworm, and the independent film mogul E. Coli Biggs, j u st t o na me a few. Whether he is writing about art, sex, food, or crime ('Pugh has been a policeman as far back as he can remember. His father was a notorious bank robber, and the only way Pugh could get to spend time with him was to apprehend h im' ), he is explosively funny. In 'This Nib for Hire,' a Hollywood bigwig comes across an author's book in a little country store and describes it in a way that aptly captures this magnificent volume: 'Actually,' the producer says, 'I'd never se en a bo ok rema indered in the kindling section before'."

Midland Counties, (Leicester, 1988).
200 pp, 4to (12 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Profusely illustrated with color photographs. "Few nations in history came into the world so empty-handed as Pakistan. Born at the stroke of midnight on 14 August 1947, it's bounded in the east by India, in the north by China and the Soviet Union and in the west by Afghanistan and in the south-west by Iran. More recently a simmering war - perhaps the most astonishing one of all - goes on at heights of more than 20,000 feet, in the great H imalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges of northern Pakistan. On its North-West Frontier, the Afghans of the Soviet puppet-regime in Kabul raid and harass Pakistan border posts and villages in the Hindu Kush and the mountains of the famous Khy b e r P a ss. They meet indomitable defence. Yet all it had at the start was courage - and the formidable legacy of the martial Muslims of Asia: pride, discipline, efficiency and unquenchable faith. Out of this came inspired performance. This i s th e f ul l, remarkable story of the bravest of the brave...the story of how a frail young nation, born amid tumult and bloodshed, threatened on all sides, transformed itself into a major fighting machine."

Viking Press, New York, 1977, first U.S. edition.
210 pp, 8vo (8 9/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0670115223 "The year is 1976, and Stephen III, King of England, has lately died. Mozart's Second Requiem (K.878) is being sung at the Cathedral Basilica of St. George at Coverley (pronounce d Cowley) for the laying-to-rest of the monarch. Above choir and orchestra soars the faultless boy soprano voice of Hubert Anvil. It is a once-in-a-century talent. Although he cannot yet know it, today's performance before a brilliant inter n a t i o n al congregation - including two emissaries of the Holy Office - will alter his destiny but save his voice if certain of his elders have their way. In the world-as-we-know-it the last such castrato died in 1922, but this is another world a lt og et he r, spared the Reformation back in the sixteenth century when Martin Luther became Pope. As Hubert is made aware of what may be in store for him, some unsuspected allies, including his father's not-so-celibate chaplain and the New En gla nde r a mba ssa dor spring up. Around him swirls a whirlpool of piety, menace, terror, and passion - a vortex from which no reader can or will escape until the final resolution...." Very faint discoloration to edges of textblock, light rubbin g on boa rds, lig ht w rink ling at bottom of spine, three tiny corner dints, tiny dint on top edge of rear board. Dust jacket has very light edge wear/wrinkling, very light rubbing, small light water mark at top inside edge. Very Good/Very Good

Amundsen, Roald. Translated from the Norwegian by A.G. Chater. THE SOUTH POLE: AN ACCOUNT OF THE NORWEGIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION IN THE "FRAM", 1910-1912. (2 VOLUMES IN 1.)
McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1976, facsimile reprint of John Murray, 1912 editions.
393 pp + 449 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs, maps (1 fold-out), fold-out plan of the 'Fram'. "In the southern spring of 1911 two separate expeditions left their respective winter quarters in Antarctica in a desperat e bid to achieve the glory of being first at the South Pole - a British party, led by Captain R.F. Scott, and a Norwegian one under Captain Roald Amundsen. Scott reached the Pole on 18 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegains had fores t a l l e d him over a month previously. Disconsolate, Scott and his four companions retraced their footsteps across the polar plateau, a 'via dolorosa' which was to lead to the deaths of all five from hunger and exposure. Scott's edited diary of t he e ve nt s h as been a perennial bestseller ever since. Amundsen's own account, translated into English as 'The South Pole', never achieved the same popularity. Lacking in personal charisma, Amundsen was to some extent a victim of British ch auv ini sm, wh ich s te rotyped him as a devious foreigner not above gaining the Pole by a deceitful stratagem and, worse by far, sacrificing his dogs to do so. His complaint in later years that British schoolchildren were being taught to regard Scot t as the tru e di sco ver er of the South Pole was probably no exaggeration. Today we can look back to these distant events more dispassionately, and freely give Amundsen the credit that is his due. He was a truly professional explorer who took pains to p ut al l his the orie s to the test and left nothing to chance. 'The South Pole', which so successfully exemplifies Amundsen's philosophy of exploration, is a polar masterpiece which deserves to be in print again after so many year s in limbo. " Pre vious owner' s nam e/dat e on front pastedown, previous owner's embossed blind stamp on free front endpaper, a few edge creases and tiny tear archivally taped on fold-out map at rear, tiny speck on top of textblock, very light soi ling on bott om of t extblo ck, ver y ligh t wrin kling at top/bottom of spine, minor edge wear.

30 pp + 48 pp of b&w plates, 12mo (7 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. One of the King Penguin series. B&w plates. "Services were long and frequent in the Middle Ages, and monks and canons had to stand upright longer than they liked. So, commi serating with them, the carpenters made small seats on the under-side of the tip-up seats in the chancel stalls on which one could sit, or against which at least one could lean while apparently standing. The function and the position being what it was, no strict control seems to have been kept over what the carver wished to represent to decorate these miserere or misericord seats. The author of this book tells illuminatingly and entertainingly of the many types of subjects which appear on th ese seats, from saints and biblical scenes to the romances of Alexander the Great and Tristram and Iseult, and from the records of everyday life: boat building, football, and so on, to birds and beasts and monsters."

"This is the first in-depth story of the world's first supersonic fighter, the North American F-100 Super Sabre. Developed as a fighter-interceptor , later converted to a tactical nuclear-armed strike fighter, the Super Sabre was eventually proven in the crucible of the Vietnam war as an effective and highly lethal fighter-bomber.

The full story of the Super Sabre's controversial design, developme n t, and testing is revealed in these pages for the first time. The book takes you into the cockpit of an F-100 on a strike against VietCong positions, flying at low level on a Misty FAC mission, or 'trolling for SAM' as a Wild Weasel I. It show s h ow the Air National Guard took a castoff aircraft and made it into an effecient weapons system, setting new marks for operational readiness and effectiveness.

Andrews, Allen. THE AIR MARSHALS: THE AIR WAR IN WESTERN EUROPE.
William Morrow, New York, 1970.
299 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs. "Stragetic bombing, and the men who organized it, was (and still is) one of the most controversial issues of the Second World War. Here was an aspect of warfare that came to frui tion within twenty years, compared with the two hundred years taken to develop gunpowder in its most sophisticated form. (This book) examines this devastating method of warfare, ultimately aimed at breaking the morale of whole nations; in parti c u l a r it investigates the means and motives of the Western leaders who developed and implemented it: Portal of Great Britain, Arnold of America and Goring of Hitler's Germany. The air war begins with the constest between Goring and the redoubta bl e Do wd ing, whose victory over the Germans both changed the course of the war and frustrated Goring's personal plan to achieve victory through air power alone....'The Air Marshals' views the war in the air with a wide sweep, relating how it was con du cte d o n both sides on the highest levels. Allen Andrews draws shrewd and unorthodox portraits of powerful men, without forgetting that the decisions they took around the conference table wrought fearful slaughter. Nor does he hesitate to conf ron t th e sl ayers with the slain, be it Arnold or Harris. The world will never again experience the like of the air marshals' war of 1939-45. This exciting narrative is its record." Bump at bottom of spine, some slight variation in color o n boa rds. Dus t jac ket has light edge wear/wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, two very small tears at bottom of spine, very light soiling on rear panel. Very Good//Very Good

Andrezel, Pierre. (pseud of Karen Blixen, aka Isak Dinesen). Dust jacket art by Michael Wickham. THE ANGELIC AVENGERS.
Putnam, London, 1946, first British edition.
303 pp, 8vo (8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "Pierre Andrezel, whose name appears on this novel, is described as a young Frenchman, born in Rouen 1915, and educated at Oxford where he wrote stories for English magazines. His original publication of 'The Angelic Avengers' in Copenhagen in 1944 may be explained by the state of France at that time, and the less oppressive conditions of the Danes, whom the British Prime Minister dubbed 'the Gangster's Canary Birds'. The use of this phrase i n the book can hardly fail to be an allusion, and may have a certain significance, although it would be an error to regard the book as in any serious way allegorical. Pierre Andrezel has not been heard of since the appearance of his novel in De n ma rk . The setting of (this book) is England and France 1840-41, when a romantic school of fiction still carried on something of the flamboyance and mystery of the Gothic Revival." - from the dust jacket flap. Pierre Andrezel was in fact Kare n Bli xen ( Isaak Dinesen) of 'Out of Africa' fame. Light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has light to moderate browning, areas of light to moderate edge wrinkling, light edge wear. Very Good/Good+

Angus, Tom. MEN AT ARNHEM.
Leo Cooper, London, (1977), reprint.
208 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0850522153 B&w maps, organization chart. "Tom Angus sets out to apportion no blame, nor does he seek to analyse the reasons for the failure of the operation. His aim is simply to describe w hat it was like to be a 30-year old company commander during those eight days in hell. For obvious reasons, the characters are not all drawn straight from life. The names are changed and he does not specify the units concerned. But the eve n t s h e describes did happen just where and when and how he describes them; so if this is not a conventional work of military history nor is it by any means fiction. It is a remarkable and intensely moving account of one of those great military t ra ge d ie s w hich only the British seem able to turn into triumphs, and as a book it certainly triumphs over all conventional accounts of that blood-drenched sacrifice that was the Battle of Arnhem. It is also the finest evocation of an infant rym an' s w ar to b e published for many years and will become a classic in its field." Previous owners small stamp on front pastedown, very tiny bump to bottom corners of boards. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top of spine, small ghost stic ker mark on fro nt f lap . VG+/VG

Now, on her return by popular demand, meet Hortense, the kind of girl who came alive only in the night, when all the neons were shining and all the pretty moths were fluttering. Meet Hortense, the miner's daughter, the Cinderella in a lonely bedroom, who searched for the city of enchantment - and found only a wilderness of concre t e . " Interior - light browning to pages, otherwise clean and tight with no previous ownership marks.
