hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Both letters two pages, quarto. LETTER ONE (annotated in ink with some ink marks in the blank space beneath Goold's signature): Written at the point at which Goold was relinquishing the University College Latin Chair to return to Yale. 'I told you I should be visiting Yale this autumn; and now I have to tell you that I shall be going on to Stanford after Christmas till March. Still, if I shan't have the pleasure of coming in occassionally to the bookshop, it probably means that I shall be ordering more books from you!' Orders a couple of copies of Austin's 'Aeneid'. 'To my great delight classics are thriving at Yale (as also at Harvard, where I went to a party a week or so ago); I don't know whether this reflects a national trend, quite likely not, but I'm glad to be at a place where there are so many people taking classics courses that one hasn't to worry about being sacked because of the dearth of students.' Discusses his wife's job ('we see each other only at weekends') and 'the Marshalls' ('they very kindly met us at Boston airport, & contributed much to our being able to settle down so well'). 'The printers of the Loeb Classical Library [of which Goold was Chief Editor] continue to make the most appalling mistakes. They bound the whole of my Manilius before discovering that they had printed ASTRONMICA (rather than - NOMICA) on the spine! The result is that the spine will now have a costly cover-up job done on it and another two months' delay. Absolutely infuriating. I can, I suppose, comfort myself with the thought that this is likely to be the best £3.90 worth in Latin studies - but I've shed as much of my blood on thhe book as I care.' Asks if Blackwell's want to stock his edition of Horace's odes. LETTER TWO (with negligible coffee stain): Is sorry to learn that Quinton has 'been put on half-time'. 'But I gather, reading between the lines, that Blackwell's is not devoid of humanity, and that some special (i.e. better) arrangement may be possible. And it may be congenial for you to work on second-hand books exclusively'. Speculates that there are enough copies of out of print classics books 'to enable one English bookseller to do a good trade'. Places an order for three works. 'I need hardly say that I look forward to a continuation of our personal contact, & promise my undiminished interest in whatever you can come up with in the second-hand book line. Discusses the complicated publishing plans for the Harvard Servius. 'I don't expect any difficulty, although I anticipate being pressured into cutting back on typographical excellence.' 'I get the impression that Britain's new government is proving more popular & successful than most thought possible. Contrariwise, the oil crisis has hit America hard: the other day I had to wait 2 hours in a nearly mile-long queue of cars to get my tank filled'. Discusses car dependency, and the cutting out of wasteful consumption. THE OFFPRINT is of eighteen pages, octavo, stapled into original grey printed wraps. Very good, with a trace of rust to the staples. Front wrap inscribed to 'P. Q. with best wishes from G. P. G.'.…

Cambridge 1975, 509 pp., dust jacket w169.

16pp, 8vo. Stapled pamphlet. In fair condition, lightly aged, covers dusty and spotted, staples slightly rusted. P.2 carries an announcement of the joint publication by 'Mr. Heinemann' and the Macmillan Company of New York 'of a new series of Greek and Latin texts with English translations on the opposite page and brief biographical prefaces. The series takes its name from Mr. James Loeb, originator of the idea, []'. The page gives details of the plan, and p.15 carries a 'List of the First Twenty Volumes, 'Ready in September' and 'Ready in November'. P.16 gives details of those involved in the library: the two editors Page and Rouse, and the ten members of the 'Advisory Board'. Pp.3-14 carry Rouse's essay 'Machines or Mind?', in which he attempts to answer the question 'What is the use of Greek and Latin literature?' He begins an impassioned response with the counter-question: 'What is the use of machines?' His conclusion is that there is a question 'which the world has not faced': 'So much time has been saved, that thousands of people who used to be working all day now have leisure; and they do not know what to do with it. They are often ignorant, violent, intolerant, and they are so many, that the few wiser who ought to guide them are forced to follow. To what end?' No copy in the BL, and only three copies on Library Hub Discover (the former COPAC): at Manchester, Liverpool and the Institute of Classical Studies. Now scarce.…
