No hinge issues, no library markings, no signatures or bookplates. Only evidence of handwriting found is on the front end page where something was penciled in the upper right corner and then later erased (mostly). This is a bound edition of the Home Chat magazine, which was published as a woman's weekly magazine covering such things as society gossip and domestic tips along with short stories, dress patterns, recipes and competitions.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. A lovely edition, beautifully illustrated. Published on the occasion of the European Converting Sacred Spaces project. Trilingual: English, French and Dutch. In near perfect condition, slight bumping at corners. Barely read.

Zustand: near fine. First edition. Octavo. xi, (1), 377, (1)pp. Index and bibliography. Pictorial boards with lilac/gray spine lettered in white. Illustrated with a few photos. A fine but ex-library copy (with minimal markings; i.e. rubber stamps on title page & bottom of text block). The present volume is entirely dedicated to the investigation of the implications and effects of breaking ritual rules, of failed performances and of the extinction of ritual systems. While rituals are often seen as infallible mechanisms which 'work' irrespective of the individual motivations of the performers, it is clearly visible here that rituals can fail, and that improper performances do in fact matter. These essays break new ground in their respective fields and the comparative analysis of rituals that go wrong introduces new perspectives to ritual studies. As the first book-length study on ritual mistakes and failure, this volume begins to fill a significant gap in the existing literature. Contributors include: Claus Ambos, Christiane Brosius, Johanna Buss, Burckhard Dücker, Christoph Emmrich, Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin, Maren Hoffmeister, Ute Hüsken, Brigitte Merz, Axel Michaels, Karin Polit, Michael Rudolph, Edward L. Schieffelin, Jan A.M. Snoek, Eftychia Stavrianopoulou, and Jan Weinhold.

"The final season of excavations at Tel Beer-sheba, the eighth, took place in the summer of 1976 and was carried out after his demise by Aharoni's chief assistants, Ze'ev Herzog, Itzhaq Beit-Arieh and Anson F. Rainey. The latter two regrettably did not live to see the completion of this publication. But they shared in the work, as did the young staff members who enabled the Tel Beer-sheba project to become a reality.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Facsimile Dustjacket. FIRST EDITION & FIRST PRINTING. This exceptional anthology brings together some of the most influential literary voices of the early 20th century. Published for the Edinburgh University Women's Union, Atalanta's Garland is a tribute to education, creativity, and the feminine voice in academia. Notable contributors include Virginia Woolf with her reflective essay A Woman's College from Outside, Katherine Mansfield offering two previously unpublished sketches titled Little Jean and Lucien, and W.H. Davies contributing Where Shall We Live and Contented Hearts. Hilaire Belloc's Thoughts in the Manner of the Ancients, Walter de la Mare's whimsical piece The Snail, Professor A.W. Mair's Greek Elegiacs, and T.B. Simpson's evocative George Square further enrich the collection. These, along with works by many other male and female contributors, explore themes of femininity, identity, culture, and learning in compelling and diverse ways. Cultural Significance: The title, Atalanta's Garland, honours the myth of Atalanta — the fiercely independent huntress of Greek mythology who defied conventional expectations and lived freely under Artemis's protection. Her symbolism perfectly reflects the spirit of women's education and empowerment celebrated in this volume. In choosing Atalanta as a figurehead, the Women's Union offered a metaphorical garland to the strength, intellect, and tenacity of women pushing boundaries in academia. This anthology is steeped in the cultural ethos of the Celtic Revival. Many contributors are either connected to Scotland or write about themes of feminine and familial experience. The volume blends literary tradition with bold, emerging perspectives at a pivotal moment in women's and literary history. This volume is ideal for collectors of early 20th-century literature, women's studies, feminist history, and Scottish literary heritage, as well as those interested in Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and their contemporaries. A scarce and sought-after gem in the field of early women's literary publishing. Condition and Description of book: This is a brand new facsimile dustjacket in a superb condition. [It was reproduced from a First Edition - First Impression/Printing].
