Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st printing of the revised First Fireside Edition 1994, Not PoD, 600pp. Clean & tight copy, unmarked & unread, in Very Good condition w/pages uniformly aged into a sandy-rust color, still brightly legible. Lists "from The Beatles, James Brown, The B-52's and Brand Nubian to Elvis Presley, Prince,… Pearl Jam and Public Enemy, all you'd ever want to know about the rockers and the rappers, the music and the madness, the winners and the sinners, the hits and the misses. . ." & lists like "She's Your Lover Now: Best Non-Dylan Dylan Records," "21 Rockers, Rappers and Poppers Who'd Lose to Beavis & Butthead in a Meeting of the Minds," "Famous Musicians Who Have Appeared on U.S. Postage Stamps," "Chuck D Picks 11 Hip-Hop Albums That No One Can Do Without," & "Songwriters Who Never Wrote a Song." [publisher copy] "A book of lists seems an extremely lightweight way to comprehensively cover anything, but there's surprising substance to this volume. What sets it apart from other rock-trivia titles is authority (Marsh is rock's most prominent critic; hip-hop expert Bernard provides street credibility), attitude (the often irreverent lists diss nearly everyone), entertainment value (it's more rewarding to read about than listen to The 40 Worst #1 Hits), and some genuinely useful facts (though lack of an index makes them all but inaccessible). The hundreds of entries (many by critics, musicians, and other industry figures) appear in such categorical chapters as 'Firsts and Debuts,' 'Hits and Flops,' and 'History' (i.e., lists like 'Worst Career Moves,' which includes 'Michael Jackson invites his playmates to spend the night'). Sure, it's a new edition of a decade-old title, but it has been thoroughly overhauled, and given the trendy nature of the subject matter, libraries [& rock fans] that own the original should grab the new book to cover such interim developments as MTV, rap, and alternative rock."--Booklist. VG paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable for a 32-year-old pulpy trade paperback.

Some became fighter pilots, but a great many more were destined to be trained as bomber aircrew - pilots, navigators, wireless operators, bomb aimers, gunners and flight engineers. On completion of their training, a number of these recruits were posted to XV Squadron, a highly-regarded frontline bomber squadron, which had been formed during the First World War. Bomber Squadron: Men Who Flew with XV Squadron relates the personal stories of a small number of these men, giving an insight to their anxious moments when flying on operational sorties, staring death in the face in the form of prowling night-fighters and ground fire, and relaxing during their off-duty hours. The book also reveals the motivations, emotions and personal attitudes of these men who flew into combat on an almost nightly basis. ; name on front endpaper, else FINE/FINE. Book.

8vo, pp. 126. Half-bound marble boards, half-title bound in, original front wrapper pasted to front pastedown. Printed in double columns. Spine label. Contents browned, portion of (later) spine label missing, but a well preserved copy. Rebound popular edition. First published by Methuen in 1902. The prolific 'Richard Marsh'/Rich…ard Heldmann [1857-1915] wrote in a wide variety of genres, but is now best remembered for his weird and supernatural fiction -- he was the author of The Beetle (1897), a best-seller published the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula. His grandson was the modern master of weird fiction, Robert Aickman. The Twickenham Peerage is one of Marsh's more conventional tales: an impoverished aristocrat needs money to enable him to marry. Scarce in this cheap and flimsily made edition.

Ninth impression of the 1897 first edition. Publisher's original red cloth with an illustration of The Beetle in black and green and titles in black and gilt to the upper board, and titles in black and gilt to the spine. Illustrated with a tissue guarded frontispiece and three further full page black and white plates by John Wil…liamson. Single page of publisher's adverts at the rear. A very good copy, the binding firm with rubbing and bumping to the extremities, the cloth with a few minor marks and some fading to the slightly rolled spine. The contents, with a previous owner's name in pencil, and a Christmas 1905 gift inscription in ink to the half title, are otherwise clean with just the odd finger mark or isolated foxing spot to the margins. An early supernatural mystery novel, first published in the same year as Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and, like 'Dracula', developing a vein of gothic terror first popularised by Ann Radcliffe's 'The Mysteries of Udolpho' and later by Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'.

First Edition. [Supernatural thriller] First impression of this edition (second printings are identified as such on c.p.). Apparently the first edition printed in America following Mansfield's earlier edition using British sheets. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.viii; 338; [6], ads. Bound in publisher's dark blue cloth pictorially blocke…d in colours, edges trimmed. Contents clean but for small brown stain to gutter of prelims, ink name to endpaper, dated ink initials to top edge, covers clean and bright. Near fine. A fresh copy of an early supernatural mystery novel. One of the best selling novels of the late nineteenth century: The Beetle remained in print for over 60 years, effortlessly outselling its now far better known competition, a certain Dracula, printed the same year, being amongst them. Subsequent literary endeavours by people like Boothby and Rohmer clearly owe a lot to Marsh's really rather high calibre tale of evil oriental interlopers with insidious powers and sinister intentions. Rare in this condition.
An Aristocratic Detective
Marsh, Richard [Richard Marsh (12 October 1857 - 9 August 1915) was the pseudonym of the English author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period and is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel The Beetle.

Zustand: Very Good. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original illustrated burgundy cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, cream, green and russet illustration to the front cover, publisher's device blind stamped to lower cover. 8vo. 8'' x 5¼''. Focuses on another series that first appeared in provinc…ial local newspapers across England, including the Manchester Times, the Leeds Mercury, and the Newcastle Weekly Courant in the period 1895 to 1900. One of the novel's multiple narrators was the Honourable Augustus Champnell, whose detective adventures are examined here. A number of these detective stories starring Champnell were published both before and after Marsh's success with The Beetle, not only do these stories have a fascinating publication history, they also feature one of the first aristocratic private detectives in literary history, appearing some 20 years before Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey, meaning that they offer intriguing explorations of the class dynamics of Victorian police-work and criminality. Contains tissue-guarded frontispiece, (vii), 310 pp + 16 pp ads. Oval indigo stamp to the first story from Newcastle-on-Tyne Police Library, finger marks to the text block edges and in Very Good bright condition. Extremely scarce. Member of the P.B.F.A.
