Cloth, 8vo, 175 pp. "From long experience [Professor Brook] suggests possible fields for the collector - illustrated books, manuscripts, private press editions, reprints, books for children and Victorian novels - and shows that these do not have to be expensive collectors' items. He covers the trends in the collectors' market and the practical aspects of caring for one's collection, and he describes some of the personalities involved in this infectious pursuit - well-known collectors, booksellers and forgers, especially Thomas James Wise. As an extra aid to the beginner he includes technical information on book production, and gives explanations of useful bibliographical terms. Finally Professor Brook, from personal experience, advises on ways of disposing of a collection. His own fine collections of drama, publishing history and books printed before 1800 are now in the John Rylands Library of the University of Manchester, where he is an Emeritus Professor. This book is an ideal companion for anyone interested in the world of books; from occasional readers to addicted collectors. It combines excellent personal advice with a thorough and thoughtful approach." - from the blurb. Near Very Good in dustwrapper.…

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 23 cm, 388 pp, [32] pp. of plates : ills. From the blurb - "William Morris - artist, craftsman, poet, politician - was a complex man. His sturdy looks belied great sensitivity; his romantic passion for the Middle Ages did not prevent his being closely in touch with the world of his time; his socialism went with a good head for business; his genius for friendship was contradicted by his clumsiness in love; he was a prolific but indifferent poet, and he was the greatest designer of patterns this country has produced. To this diversity he added explosive energy, and a singularly magnetic personality: a friend described him as having 'a largeness and nobility of nature, a magnanimity and generosity which rarely enter into the character of the artist.' Philip Henderson's absorbing biography of this extraordinary man could not be bettered. Morris's career is fully documented, the curious nature of his marriage is revealed, and so is the depth and importance of his relationships with Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Webb, Yeats, Shaw, Engels and many other leading figures in a memorable period. But above all the man himself is brought to life, to amaze us with his multifarious achievements, annoy us with his limitations, and finally to engage our concern as surely as he did that of those who knew him in the flesh."

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 207 pp,ills. Illustrated by Zabo. "In the last twenty-odd years so much has happened in [Japan], in addition to the staggering economic expansion of which all the world knows, that she has become an endlessly fascinating subject. George Mikes, having almost hoped to fall into the customary Western attitude of condescending pleasure at her "Oriental quaintness" (because it is rather easy to be funny in such an attitude), saw at once that this was not possible. There was nothing for it but to look at the Japanese as he looks at the rest of mankind: with his own inimitable blend of curiosity, respect. affection and irreverence. As a result, he makes Japan much more 'real' to the stranger than most observers do. There are plenty of jokes in his book, of course - and very good ones - but there is more straight portraiture and perceptive interpretation. Everyone writes about the tea ceremony -who else notices the way rubbish is thrown out? Everyone reports his own reaction to the Japanese tradition as embodied in the Kabuki theatre; but who else spots the reaction of the Japanese to their sense of tradition? Whether he is describing student revolt or the Geisha habit, the problems involved in using ideographs or styles of car-driving, morals or manners, George Mikes always has something to say which is both surprising and true." - from the blurb.

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 119 pp. From the blurb - " In this book Mr Partridge is concerned not only with language but with life, more particularly with his own, for the book is partly autobiographical. In describing his early years and upbringing in a country district in New Zealand he says : 'There I naturally gained a pretty intimate knowledge of country life and rural fauna and flora : not the worst basis on which to build a solid foundation for an urban and sedentary life devoted mainly to learning. Learning very early became a passion; it has remained a passion.' How it came about that this passion enabled Mr Partridge eventually to become one of the world's leading philologists is described with the lucidity, the wit and the worldly wisdom that are characteristic of Mr Partridge's writing. There are two ways of approach[ing] every branch of learning; that of the pedant, dogged, meticulous and uncompromising, and that of the humanist, rational, urbane and friendly.".
