To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee

Octavo, 255 pages, published by J.B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia & New York in 1960. Very good near fine condition.

The collectable first book club edition with all the points covered – photo of the author by Truman Capote on the rear, vivid yellow colour to top edge, Jonathan Daniels review inside dust jacket.

Harper Lee’s classic – it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird because mockingbirds harm no one and give great pleasure. For many years her only novel – something maybe makes us wish that was still the case.

Collectable and gift worthy

Atlas of Atlases – Phillip Allen

Super book for a generalist interest in early cartography. Great foundation.

Published by Bounty Books in 2005. A substantial book, large squarish quarto, 160 pages, magnificently illustrated as one would expect. A near fine copy.

Too large for our scanner I am afraid, so the image is cropped RHS.

Takes a chronological approach – Classical, Medieval the Era of Exploration, the Dutch, the Empires and the Modern Age.

Narrative very readable and information but it’s the numerous relevant, high-quality illustrations that makes this the tops.

A super education in one book

[Australian Poetry] The Lee Shore – John Couper

Published by Edwards and Shaw, Sydney in 1979, who did so much for Australian poetry and poets.

Soft cover but with a stiff paper jacket – upmarket presentation. Octavo, 90 pages – fours groups titles as to group … Versions of Horace; A Few Nice Letters to John Dunmore Lang; Elegies and Executions and Shade Across a Summer.

Witty and satiric with an intellectual shine … not only Horace but we have references to Villon [see our Villon] and Wordsworth – seemingly as savage as Swift … big shoe

The Lee Shore – a full course and fine meal.
