Binding : Hard

pp66. Brown cloth binding (colour faded). Gilt lettering to front and spine (also worn so that lettering appears silvern in places). Light bumping about corners and ends of spine. Kegan Paul's account of his religious belief and ultimate acceptance into Roman Catholicism. A previous reader has made one or two pencilled lines beside passages (eg page 17) but not many. Paul makes specific comparisons with others of the time, e.g. Gosse father and son, and Mrs Sherwood, authoress of Orwell's hated Fairchild Family. Unwittingly he also shows how different readers come to different understandings, when he ends with the line "I was blind, now I see", which most readers today will associate with the evangelical writer John Newton, through its use in his hymn "Amazing Grace".

The Joy of Mumming! Among the compelling effects created by this troupe is that of living statues, now a big feature of street entertainment in Covent Garden, for instance.The cult of the "VW Microbus" is also nurtured. 24 illustrated pages, square format, bound in limp card covered in what another dealer calls "velour", royal blue, to the front which is attached a tangle of red wool. Judging by ghostly "snail trails" this wool migrates from time to time.Does it belong, or is it a hitch-hiker? The book was owned by spinner and weaver Pauline Hinchcliffe, ex "Spinners" folk band Like the artists, I too was born in 1944, and I founded this business in 1974, so can be briefly nostalgic before returning to the present Golden Age!?

Lusus - Christopher Stone
Price : £22.00
Publisher : Oxford: Blackwell
Published : 1909
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Good
Jacket : No Jacket
pp72. Previous owner has neatly covered brown cloth cover with clear plastic, adhering inside cover. Pages roughcut, edges dusty. Inscribed from Alice and Christopher Stone December 1911. Alternating poems and prose meditations. Was this "Christopher Stone" he who was Compton McKenzie's brother-in-law, founding editor of The Gramophone, and the first man to play records on the BBC? The date seems to fit. Postscript: "NDc" of USA kindly sends us the following: Christopher Stone was indeed the brother-in-law of Comptom Mackenzie and I have a copy of Rich Relations by Compton which is dedicated to Alice and Christopher Stone. My copy of LUSUS has a written presentation , 1941, to Alec Robertson who was one of the Gramophone's chief reviewers and a great friend of Compton's.
