Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. This is a Near Fine Copy of this book in blue cloth with gilt title lettering to spine.No dust-jacket.Contents remain clean internally.This copy was acquired from the impressive private library of Roy Ward Baker and there is one gift inscription to him on the front pastedown.Baker started in the film industry as a tea boy and his first jobs were menial,but by 1938 he had risen to the level of as assistant director on Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938).He served in the Army during World War II, transferring to the Army Kinematograph Unit in 1943. One of his superiors at the time was novelist Eric Ambler who insisted on Baker being given his first big break directing The October Man, from an Ambler screenplay, in 1947.Ambler also adapted Walter Lord's A Night to Remember for Baker's 1958 screen version.His next two films, The Weaker Sex (1948) and Paper Orchid (1949) were popular but overshadowed by the success of Morning Departure (1950), also featuring John Mills.Morning Departure drew international attention to Baker's talent and prompted Darryl Zanuck, production head of 20th Century Fox,to invite him to Hollywood, though his first film for the company was made in the UK.During the early 1950s, Baker worked for three years at Fox where he directed Marilyn Monroe in Don't Bother to Knock (1952) and Robert Ryan in the 3D film noir Inferno (1953). He returned to the UK in 1953 and continued to work on films.He worked for television during the 1960s. He directed episodes of The Avengers, The Saint, The Persuaders! and The Champions all adventure series created with an eye on the American market.He directed, among others, Quatermass and the Pit (1967) The Vampire Lovers (1970) and Scars of Dracula (1970) for Hammer, and Asylum (1972) and The Vault of Horror (1973) for Amicus. He also directed Bette Davis in the black comedy The Anniversary (1968).In the latter part of the 1970s he returned to television, and throughout the 1980s continued to work on shows such as Minder.

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. Ex-Libris College sticker saying Cancelled to inside cover. Ex-college library copy. 'With the Publishers' Compliments embossed to title page. Sunned spine to cloth. Red cloth with gilt lettering. With a Memoir by the Rev. W. K. R. Bedford. The materials of which the present work is made up consist of authograph letters to Mr. Sharpe to his mother and other members of his familyl of rough drafts of letters in his own handwriting; of various fragmentary memoranda, also authograph; and of letters to Mr. Sharpe, almost all in the originals. In addition to these, a note-book of mr. Sharpe, into which he had copies his more important correspondence from 1810 to 1815, with a few entries of a later date, has furnished a number of the most complete and interesting letters in both volumes. Mr. Sharpe's correspondence naturally divides itself into two parts: the letters connected with his residence at Oxford, and with the friendships which he had formed there; and those belonging to his Edinburgh life, when he had in a great measure retired from society and devoted himself to literary, artistic, and antiquarian pursuits.
