Imprint: London, George G. Harrap, 1970 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 344 pages. Translated by Annie Mygind in collaboration with Patrick Henry. The author Bernard Charles Henri Clavel (1923-2010) won the 1968 Prix Goncourt. His novel tells the story of Gaston Dubois and his wife Fernande, forced to work their way into old age, who live in their own small world where the events and tragedies of World War 2 mean little to them. Their cares and troubles are focused on the garden which provides their food, the wood which provides heat for the long winter months, and their children: Paul, the materialistic and unscrupulous son who trades with the Germans in the Black Market; Julien, who represents all the hopes of his mother despite the fact that he is a deserter and chooses to live the life of a bohemian artist. Skilfully written and evoking all the hardships, anguish, and inner conflicts caused by the war, it is a powerful story, rich in characterization and incident. A1B. Book Condition: Fine.

Imprint: Cologne, Taschen, 2006 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. A large format volume of 192 pages. Dual Text in English, German and French. William Claxton began his career shooting jazz record cover art. His iconic images of jazz stars reflect his pre-eminence among photographers of jazz music. The late Joachim E. Berendt first published The Jazz Book in 1953, which became the most successful history book on jazz in the world. His contributions to Jazz as a musicologist and a producer of over 250 records are internationally recognized today. These rare and stunning photographs by William CLaxton were taken for the book Jazzlife in 1960. While travelling around the United States with Joachim E. Berendt to record America's original art form, Claxton met and photographed the jazz personalities in every major and minor city, capturing these musicians in their natural environment. Among the most poignant and soulful photographs are these from the colorful melting pot of New Orleans, the city where jazz was born.

Imprint: London, Duckworth, 1991 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. Foreword by Oliver Sacks. The author is a doctor and here describes an exceptional patient, Ian Waterman, who was struck down at the age of 19 with a rare neurological illness which deprived him of all sensation below the neck and who was diagnosed as incurable. Ian gradually adapted to his strange condition and as predicted there was no neurological recovery and he had to monitor every movement by sight to work out where his limbs were but with astonishing courage and persistence he developed elaborate tricks and strategies to control his movements. Hard enough as this was to cope with daily living, but even greater with the challenges of work, love and marriage. A most heartening account of one man's courage and achievement. *** NOT EX LIB *** 300. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Fine Stock number: 002791. ISBN: 0715623850
