  • P.G. Wodehouse – A Few Quick Ones – First Edition

    P.G. Wodehouse – A Few Quick Ones – First Edition

    Sought after First Edition published in 1959 by Herbert Jenkins, London.

    Octavo, 207 pages, a good copy with the odd mark here and there. Sound dust jacket [best form], the sign of a bump lower spine. Retailers label front board, unseen.

    A worthwhile copy of a hilarious collection of wit from the maestro Wodehouse – Jeeves makes an appearance for selective fans. Our favourite “Offy, Freddie and The Beef Trust”

    P.G. Wodehouse – First Edition – Ten stories and hundreds of laughs – we need them!

    SO SORRY SOLD

  • The Lost City – By Major Charles Gilson – 1920′s

    The Lost City – By Major Charles Gilson – 1920′s

    Another adventure by Charles Gilson in striking pictorial covers published in the 1920’s. Gilson has been promoted since he wrote “On Secret Service”. Another Voyager favourite.

    Published by “The Boy’s Own Paper”, Bouverie Street, London. Octavo, 378 pages with frontispiece in colour and eight other illustrations.

    The longer title, as usual, gives a clue … “The Lost City … being the Authentic Account by Professor Miles Unthank of the search for the Sarcophagus of Serohis, and the Theft of the Mystic Scarab, formerly in the British Museum”. We love it!

    Collectable … The Lost City

  • Islands in the Stream – Ernest Hemingway – First Edition 1970

    Islands in the Stream – Ernest Hemingway – First Edition 1970

    This is the first UK edition published by Collins, London in 1970.

    Large octavo, 398 pages with end paper maps. Very good if not better condition.

    A major novel left among Hemingway’s writings at the time of death. Mary Hemingway said “The book is all Ernest’s. We have added nothing to it” … we believe her …

    Hemingway’s Last Novel and a good one!

  • Freud – A Novel – Carey Harrison

    Freud – A Novel – Carey Harrison

    Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London in 1984. Octavo, 197 pages, very good condition.

    The author, a distinguished playwright and TV dramatist penned the script for a special BBC series on the life of Freud starring Sir David Suchet of Poirot fame – who appears in costume on the jacket front.

    So successful was the series that Harrison completed this novel based on his prior work and it’s a very good albeit “fictionalised” account of Freud and how he went about his business.

    Freud explained albeit with a bit of latitude.

  • The Dog’s Ear Book – Geoffrey Wilans and Ronald Searle

    The Dog’s Ear Book – Geoffrey Wilans and Ronald Searle

    Published in 1958 by Max Parrish, London

    Octavo, 107 pages illustrated throughout by the wittiest pen-smith Searle. Nice jacket, very good condition generally.

    Probably a book for a “dog lover”, there are a few around.

    Includes various snippets under the umbrella headings – Doggy Types; The History of the Dog [including something from a Tudor manuscript]; How to Make a Pal or Influence Your Dog; Do You Resemble a Dog? The Great Dog Campaign; Cruft’s and after; Doggy Problems; How to Take Your Dog Away for the Weekend; Beagling and finally the, all important, “A Dictionary of Dog terms.

    Genuinely interesting and amusing.

    The Dog – its not all about Cruft’s.

  • Marius The Epicurean: His Sensations and Ideas – Walter Pater – Special Two Volume Limited Edition – Velum Backed, Batik Covered, Hand-Made Paper, Illustrated – One of 300 Published – 1929

    Marius The Epicurean: His Sensations and Ideas – Walter Pater – Special Two Volume Limited Edition – Velum Backed, Batik Covered, Hand-Made Paper, Illustrated – One of 300 Published – 1929

    Really striking books any description difficult to do them justice – would make a super gift for someone that deserves them!  More images to come.

    A fine and unusual presentation of this unique work by Walter Pater published by McMillan, London in 1929.

    Two volumes, quarto, bound quarter vellum over batik papered boards. Gilt to spine and top edge. Sixteen dry-point full page illustrations by Thomas Mackenzie. Printed on hand made paper. Only 300 copies.

    Volume I – 143 pages, Vol II 144-278 pages. Eight illustrations in each. Slight toning in ends otherwise fine.

    Walter Pater’s philosophical novel of 1885 here with an introductory essay by J.C. Squire.

    Set in the Rome of the Antonines [AD 161-177], the Golden Age of Rome. The work is an imaginary portrait of the intellectual development of our protagonist, Marius. It was well received on publication being Pater’s only ever full-length novel. Influenced on the likes of Oscar Wilde and his … Dorian Gray.

    Pater was at the centre of the Oxford circle in his day – knew Rossetti tutored Manley Hopkins etc.

    The introductory essayist of this edition Sir John Collings Squire was the editor of the distinguished literary magazine The London Mercury. Seemingly, he was a bit of a drunk, foul mouthed and not at all liked by the Bloomsbury mob.  

    The illustrator Thomas Mackenzie [1887-1944]  similar in style to the likes of Aubrey Beardsley … his better known work may have been as illustrator to the popular version of Aladdin by Arthur Ransome.

    A special work with an extra special presentation.
