Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition. Colour jacket design and colour full-page frontispiece by Charles Keeping. ***Very good in lime green-mustard-buff cloth-covered boards with brown titles to spine. Lime green-mustard-buff-coloured fro…nt and rear free endpapers and pastedowns. Top edge of text-block foxed not affecting interior pages. Pages clean and bright. No inscriptions. Spine tight. ***In a very good price-clipped colour illustrated dustwrapper. Head and tail of spine and edges of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and creased. Rear panel of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and discoloured (being matt white background). Front panel and spine of dustwrapper bright. 284 pages. 216 x 142 mm. ***'A new book by P. L. Travers creator of the classic Mary Poppins stories is an event, and "Friend Monkey" has for a long time been eagerly awaited. ***"Who is Monkey?" One might as well ask, "What is the wind?" for Monkey is the kind of character that cannot be explained except in terms of the book he inhabits. The story tells of his departure from the jungle, his arrival in England in 1897, the people he befriends - Mr. Linnet, Miss Brown-Potter, the one and only Professor McWhirter, Louis the cockatoo - and what happens to them as a result of this befriending. ***"You could say," says P. L. Travers, "that the book is the result of a long brooding on the idea of Hanuman, the monkey lord of the Hindu myths, who could never do anything by halves." But this monkey is anything but a myth. He is utterly tangible and real, and the story, with its masterly mixture of fact and imagination, sweeps us through a series of adventures to a conclusion as inevitable as it is unexpected. Funny and touching by turns, full of disciplined wit and wisdom, the book is a commentary, at once wry and poetic, on the verb "to love". It is not only a book for children but for all ages.' (Quote taken from inside front flap of jacket blurb). ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Charles Keeping (Jacket design and frontispiece) (illustrator).

Her father was the Guyanese writer Jan Carew. Lisa St Aubin de Terán was born in 1953 (to Joan Mary Murray and Jan Carew) and brought up in Clapham in South London. She attended James Allen's Girls' School. Her memoir, "Hacienda" (1998), describes how she fell into a whirlwind first marriage to an exiled Venezuelan landowner, Jaime Terán, and lived for seven years at a remote farm in the Andean region of Venezuela. Her second husband was the Scottish poet and novelist George MacBeth. In 1982 she published her first novel, "Keepers of the House", winning the Somerset Maugham Award and a place on Granta's "Best of Young British Novelists" list (1983, issue #7). "The Slow Train to Milan", winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, followed in 1983. In the same year she moved to Wiggenhall St. Mary Magdalen in Norfolk. After her second marriage ended she returned to live in Italy. (Wiki) ***'The novels of Lisa St Aubin de Terán have established her as a writer of astonishing narrative skill and imaginative power. In 1983 she received an Eric Gregory Award for Poetry, although this is her first published collection. In "The High Place", she reveals a voice of rich and vibrant resonance. The poems are tributes to the workers on the Hacienda El Hatico - the High Place - near the village of Mendoza Fria in Venezuela. Like the turning of the mill-wheel, the years of toil for generations of peasants and the undulations of the land, the rhythm of this poetry is inexorable' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition. One of Lisa St Aubin de Terán's harder to find first editions, and her only book of poetry. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Charles Shearer (Jacket design) (illustrator).

Dustwrapper clean and bright. ***206 pages. 217mm x 140mm. ***'Herman Charles Bosman (5 Feb 1905 - 14 Oct 1951) is widely regarded as South Africa's greatest short-story writer. He studied the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain and developed a style emphasizing the use of satire. His English-language works utilize primarily Afrikaner characters and highlight the many contradictions in Afrikaner society during the first half of the twentieth century. In 1926, Bosman visited his family in Johannesburg and, during an argument, he shot and killed his stepbrother. Bosman was sentenced to death for the crime and was sent to Death Row at the Pretoria Central Prison. His sentence was later reduced to ten years with hard labour. In 1930, he was released on parole after serving half his sentence. His prison experiences formed the basis for his semi-autobiographical book, "Cold Stone Jug". Only three of his books were published during his lifetime: "Mafeking Road" published by Dassie, and "Jacaranda in the Night" and "Cold Stone Jug" published by APB. "Mafeking Road" has never been out of print since its publication in 1947. Because many of his stories were originally published in long-forgotten magazines and journals, there are a number of anthologies by different collators each containing a different selection. His original books have also been published many times by different publishers. [Wiki] ***'Herman Charles Bosman will be remembered as one of South Africa's foremost short story writers, a writer of superb skill in characterisation, narration and command of language. This volume includes four hitherto unpublished Schalk Lourens stories as well as a selection from his two highly praised collections "Mafeking Road" and "Unto Dust". It also contains extracts from "Cold Stone Jug", Bosman's witty and often poignant account of life in a South African prison in the twenties, and a number of his essays from "A Cask of Jerepigo"' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A fourth printing of the true first edition in nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Gerhard Last [Jacket design] (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. First Edition, First Printing. x, 227 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Map. Documentation related to this being a signed book laid in. My book Moment of Truth in Iraq is packed with battlefield coverage, including some never-before-published material. Th…e author stated "it will also include more from behind the scenes, as I traveled and up and down the back country to systematically report on the astounding campaign of 2007 to snatch Iraq back from the abyss. Key American and Iraqi commanders who are making it happen in a place most were writing off as a crash site. And many more of the small, telling moments, like the reopening of a Christian church in Doura. Just because our military has averted a disaster does not mean an automatic or easy path to a successful outcome. That's why I titled the book Moment of Truth in Iraq and why I believe that some events that will determine to a large extent the final outcome will occur early in 2008. Now more than ever, when every American is asking what course our country should take in Iraq, it is absolutely vital that we have a voice in the field. Michael Yon (born 1964) is an American writer and photographer. He served in the Special Forces in the early-1980s, and he became a writer in the mid-1990s. He focused on military writing after the invasion of Iraq. Yon has been embedded on numerous occasions with American and British troops in Iraq, most prominently a deployment with the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment (Deuce Four) of the 25th Infantry Division in Mosul, Iraq that ended in September 2005.Yon has had vocal feuds with the United States military hierarchy, and the nature of his reports are also controversial. However, Yon at one time enjoyed "rock star" status among individual soldiers, according to Brian Williams of NBC. Yon's alternative media reporting has been mentioned by numerous mainstream media agencies, and he has won accolades from the 2005, 2007, and 2008 Weblog Awards. In 2008, The New York Times reported that he has spent more time embedded with combat units than any other journalist in Iraq. He shifted the focus of his blogging from Iraq to Afghanistan in August 2008. His work is supported primarily by donations from readers. Bork, Charles (Jacket design) (illustrator).

Gossip columns claimed Charles paid more attention to his gardens than his wife. The Garden at Highgrove takes readers on a tour of Charles`s favorite creation--a maze-like garden surrounding the estate where he has primarily lived for the past 20 years. Various styles thrive within the boundaries of the property: wildflower meadows, formal hedgerows, outdoor rooms, carefully plotted tapestries of Queen of Night tulips. If Diana complained of neglect, Highgrove`s landscape looks like it has been lavishly doted on. In one series of photos, we see the transformation of a large plot, viewed from the house, as it has been completely erased and re-created year to year. Who has time to complete and then entirely redo a garden on a regular basis? A prince, of course. Although the landscape glows with a vibrant, almost artificial green, Charles has long been a committed organic gardener. In the introduction he recalls the period when he came around to the cause of environmentalism. While driving through a declining English countryside in the 1960s and 1970s, "I remember longing to heal the countryside, to bind up its wounds and to reclothe it in its rightful form." The Garden at Highgrove will inspire gardeners, even those who don`t live in palaces, who are looking for images of elegance and can`t afford a staff to keep the hedges perfect. --Emily White" ; Candida Rose Lycett Green was a British author who wrote sixteen books including English Cottages, Goodbye London, The Perfect English House, Over the Hills and Far Away and The Dangerous Edge of Things. Her television documentaries included The Englishwoman and the Horse, and The Front Garden. Unwrecked England, based on a regular column of the same name she wrote for The Oldie since 1992, was published in 2009. ; FINE/FINE. Book.

Roland Gérard Barthes (12 Nov 1915 - 26 Mar 1980) was a French literary theorist, essayist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His work engaged in the analysis of a variety of sign systems, mainly derived from Western popular culture. His ideas explored a diverse range of fields, including structuralism, anthropology, literary theory, and post-structuralism, and influenced the development of multiple schools of theory. Barthes is particularly notable for his 1957 essay collection "Mythologies", which contained reflections on popular culture, and the 1967/1968 essay "The Death of the Author", which critiqued traditional approaches in literary criticism. Throughout his career, Barthes had an interest in photography and its potential to communicate actual events. A number of his monthly myth articles in the 1950s had attempted to show how a photographic image could represent implied meanings and thus be used by bourgeois culture to infer 'naturalistic truths'. But he still considered the photograph to have a unique potential for presenting a completely real representation of the world. When his mother, Henriette Barthes, died in 1977 he began writing Camera Lucida as an attempt to explain the unique significance a picture of her as a child carried for him. Reflecting on the relationship between the obvious symbolic meaning of a photograph (which he called the studium) and that which is purely personal and dependent on the individual, that which 'pierces the viewer' (which he called the punctum), Barthes was troubled by the fact that such distinctions collapse when personal significance is communicated to others and can have its symbolic logic rationalized. Barthes found the solution to this fine line of personal meaning in the form of his mother's picture. Barthes explained that a picture creates a falseness in the illusion of 'what is', where 'what was' would be a more accurate description. As had been made physical through Henriette Barthes's death, her childhood photograph is evidence of 'what has ceased to be'. Instead of making reality solid, it serves as a reminder of the world's ever changing nature.'

First edition. 436pp. Octavo [21 cm] The fore-edge of the front board is prominently dampstained, however the book is internally free of moisture damage. There is a contemporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper. In a dust jacket, attractively designed by Roc…kwell Kent, with tape repairs and moisture damage to the reverse (not noticeable on the recto of the wrapper). Written by the younger brother of Frank Norris, author of "The Octopus." From the dust jacket- "To Bart and Peggy life was to be different. With youth and love and courage they came to New York. Bart was to write famous novels and Peggy to take care of him. There was no room in their little apartment for babies and no money in the exchequer. But the first baby came and then four others in a disorderly cramped suburban house, for Peggy's religion taught her to believe that any means of contraception were wrong. The debts piled up, the novel faded farther and farther into the future. What was to become of their fine young love that had started out so bravely. "In this drama of the marital lives of an American family clan Charles Norris writes frankly about the most delicate and personal of human relationships and the most absorbing social problem of contemporary life.". Rockwell Kent (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition; First Printing. 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 179 pages; 1966 Farrar, Straus & Giroux. HC/DJ 1st edition, 1st printing. Snugly bound in turquoise blue quarter cloth over black paper-covered boards, spine lettered in gilt. Boards embossed with a stylized head-and-neck design, each side… bearing a different hair pattern for the titular "wig. " A bright, clean copy with just a trace of handling. In the original pictorial dust jacket designed by Milton Glaser (then of Push Pin Studios) , unclipped with the publisher's $3.95 issue price present on the front flap. Jacket crisp and unfaded, showing only minimal surface evidence. Wright's second novel (following The Messenger, 1963) and his best-known work, The Wig is a surreal, satirical, and darkly comic exploration of race and class in America. Its jagged narrative and biting humor drew comparisons to Ralph Ellison and Ishmael Reed, and it remains a landmark of Black experimental fiction of the 1960s. NF/NF.
