Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Tales from the Tent continues Jess Smith's story. Jess left school, and after a miserable spell working in a paper-mill, she abandoned the settled life and took to the roads once more. The old bus had gone, to be replaced by a caravan and campsites. Times were changing, and it was becoming harder… and harder for travellers to make a living by doing the rounds of seasonal jobs like the berry-picking. Conscious that the old way of life was disappearing before her eyes, Jess stored up as much as she could gather from the rich folklore of the travellers' world. Now she retells some of the many stories and songs she heard by the campfire or at the tent's mouth. Interwoven with these tales is the story of Jess and her life on the road--her first loves, her friendships, her days at the hawking and berry-picking, the exploits of her lovable but infuriating family, the unforgettable characters she meets. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Edinburgh enjoys a high profile nowadays when it comes to crime fiction. Writers like Ian Rankin, Christopher Brookmyre and Quintin Jardine all set their best-selling novels in the Scottish capital. What is less well known is that the city has provided the backdrop to stories of detection for alm…ost a century and a half. In the 1860s, a few years before Conan Doyle began his medical studies at Edinburgh University, there appeared a hugely popular series of books with titles like "Curiosities of Crime in Edinburgh", "The Sliding Scale of Life" and "The Disclosures of a Detective". They were all the work of one James McLevy, an Edinburgh policeman. McLevy had been all but forgotten until Mercat Press reissued a selection of his work in 2001, when the stories received widespread acclaim, notably from Quintin Jardine - "These stories are true crime classics, imbued with all the pathos, darkness and occasional humour that you will find in the best crime fiction .They remain an outstandingly good read, as well as being a very important contribution to the social history of that time." This new volume, featuring true accounts of a further 29 of McLevy's cases, gathers together the rest of the famous sleuth's writings. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In "River of Memory", the bestselling author of "The Scots-Italians", "Tales of the Savoy" and "The Big Men" tells the story of his long and eventful life. Joe Pieri came to Glasgow from Italy in 1919, when he was one year old. His parents, like so many other Italian immigrants, came to work in t…he city's newly popular fish and chip shops. He was always aware that he was something of an outsider - a 'Tally' to his Glasgow schoolmates, the 'little Scottish boy' to his relatives in Italy. Yet, after leaving school at 13 to work in his father's fish and chip shop, he settled well into Scottish life. His father's shop, the legendary Savoy, served Glasgow's teeming crowds of night people. Policemen would be taking a break from the beat in the back of the shop, while drunks, underworld figures, bookies' runners, entertainers and wee hard men thronged the front. The business flourished, and as a young man Joe enjoyed a standard of living better than many of his customers. Then came the Second World War. Suddenly, he was no longer a familiar face in the local community but an enemy of the country. He and every other male of Italian birth in Scotland was rounded up and imprisoned. Eventually, he was sent over U-boat-infested seas to spend the rest of the war in an internment camp in Canada. After the war, Joe returned to Glasgow to try to revive a badly shattered business. These were hard years when rationing of cooking ingredients meant reliance on a booming black market. Joe married a Scots girl, Mary, against family resistance at the idea of marrying outside the close-knit Italian community. As time went by, prosperity was gradually built up once again, until Joe and his brother owned a chain of restaurants, became leading figures in the local business community, and he was able to buy a holiday home in Majorca. These experiences are retold in Joe's compulsively readable style with a cast of many colourful characters. Readers who enjoyed Joe's earlier books will not be disappointed by this sparkling autobiography. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
