Imprint: New York, Oxford University Press, 1992 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a small crease to one corner tip) with no inscriptions. viii + 385 pages. The author develops a liberty theory of freedom of speech, disputing the dominant 'marketplace of ideas' theory of the First Amendment that maintains that the truth will be discovered through debate free from government interference. Baker's theory denies constitutional protection to commercial speech, yet calls for increased protection for a free press, as well as protection for a considerable range of value-based expressive action. These protective activities, Professor Baker maintains, are crucial for a process of non-violent, progressive change. Presenting a timely and cogent argument deeply rooted in Supreme Court decisions and American political history. 51. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Soft Cover.

A near Fine unmarked copy with usual age toning to page edges with dustjacket which has a little creasing to top edge. xiii + 302 pages. 25 illustrations. The French called her La Baker, the epitome of all that was exciting from the 1930's on. The toast of two continents, she could be found at night, dressed in her fabulously elaborate gowns and headdresses or just her famous banan costume, receiving standing ovations at the Folies-Bergère. Hers is a dramatic story, and legends about her life and loves were legion, then and now. But only one person knew the real story of Josephine - herself. This is her book. Nearly completed before her death in 1975, it has been added to by her husband, Jo Bouillon, her sister, several of her adopted children, and her close friends. 302. Book Condition: Near Fine.

Imprint: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 2003 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first impression. xiv + 322 pages. 47 illustrations. In this searching and intimate autobiography, Joan Bakewell retraces the paths she has taken and reveals what lay behind the public image and the choices she made. Recreating her working-class roots, she vividly depicts her childhood in Stockport and the impact of the war, and relives her escape from the tensions at home to Cambridge University, where she was part of the stellar generation that included Peter Hall, Frederic Raphael and Claire Tomalin. She describes what it was like to make her BBC television debut during the Cuban missile crisis; to be the only woman on 'Late Night Line Up', with its eclectic roster of guests; and to be dubbed 'the thinking man's crumpet'. Here, too, is how it felt to see her affair with Harold Pinter transmuted into his play 'Betrayal'. B2D. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Fine Stock number: 008477. ISBN: 0340823100

Internally there is light foxing to closed edges and a few spots sporadically to some pages else clean, tight and unmarked. Dustjacket is age darkened and has a few spots and is complete. 94 pages. Foreword by E. Joy Hodgkin (Mrs. Henry T. Hodgkin). The Fellowship of Reconciliation is, as its name must suggest, a society of men and women who see the world society, and their own place in it, in terms of the message of the New Testament. In December 1914 some 130 people met at Cambridge, under a twofold constraint. They were called of Christ to make their protest against the war, in which as Christians they could have no part. They clearly saw that Christian pacifism could never be a simple, albeit absolute, repudiation of war; it must be a positive acceptance of the way of costly fellowship. While not attempting to frame a statement which would have binding force, they expressed in five searching parameters - 'The Basis' - their common conviction. Comprises: Introductory; A Society Fit to Endure; Hazards of the Way; Objection and Acceptance; The Patience of God; 'Whithersoever'. **** NOT EX LIB **** R1. Book Condition: Very Good.

Imprint: London, Viking, 1998 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine price clipped dustjacket. 504 pages. 110 illustrations and 2 maps. First UK edition. In 1698 when Elias Ball sailed into the harbour at Charleston, South Carolina, he was just 22 years old and had travelled 3,500 miles from his home in England, a journey of some 6 weeks, to claim his inheritance - part of a plantation and 25 slaves. Elias and his progeny built a slave dynasty that lasted for 167 years, buying more than a dozen plantations along the Cooper River near Charleston, and selling 'Carolina Gold' (rice). The family had assembled close to 4,000 slaves before 1865, when Union troops arrived from the North on the lawns of the Ball estates to force emancipation. The author, a direct descendant of Elias, has written a magnificent history using the copious plantation records of his family, supplemented by both black and white folklore and interviews with the descendants of the slaves themselves, uncovering the story of the people who lived and worked on his ancestors' lands - the violence and opulence, the slave uprisings and escapes, the dynastic struggles, and the mulatto children of Ball slaveholders and Ball slaves. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.04 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** A1E.

WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE, HE’S GOT YOU....It begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in Manhattan. Each presses the button for their floor, but the elevator climbs, non-stop, to the top where it pauses for a few seconds, before dropping. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again. And when Wednesday brings yet another catastrophe, New York, one of the most vertical cities in the world is plunged into chaos. Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it’s working. But what do these deadly acts of sabotage have to do with the fingerless body found on the High Line? It will be a race against time for detectives Jerry Borque and Lois Delgado to find the answers before a deadly Friday night showdown. D4A. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: Cairo, The American University Press in Cairo, 2017 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy. 313 pages. 107 photographs. Twice a princess, twice exiled, Neslishah Sultan had an eventful life. When she was born in Istanbul in 1921, cannons were fired in the four corners of the Ottoman Empire, commemorative coins were issued in her name, and her birth was recorded in the official register of the palace. After all, she was an imperial princess and the granddaughter of Sultan Vahiddedin. But she was the last member of the imperial family to be accorded such honors: in 1922 Vahiddedin was deposed and exiled, replaced as caliph-but not as sultan-by his brother (and Neslishah's other grandfather) Abdulmecid; in 1924 Abdulmecid was also removed from office, and the entire imperial family, including three-year-old Neslishah, were sent into exile. Sixteen years later on her marriage to Prince Abdel Moneim, the son of the last khedive of Egypt, she became a princess of the Egyptian royal family. And when in 1952 her husband was appointed regent for Egypt's infant king, she took her place at the peak of Egyptian society as the country's first lady, until the abolition of the monarchy the following year. Exile followed once more, this time from Egypt, after the royal couple faced charges of treason. Eventually Neslishah was allowed to return to the city of her birth, where she died at the age of 91 in 2012. Based on original documents and extensive personal interviews, this account of one woman's extraordinary life is also the story of the end of two powerful dynasties thirty years apart. L.
