Imprint: New York, Balzer and Bray, 2012 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket. First US Edition, First Printing. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell. 451 pages. Despite inciting their families' wrath and putting themselves in grave danger, rival clan leaders Rosa Alcantara and Alessandro Carnevare refuse to give up on their love for each other. But when the young couple suffers a deadly attack from an unknown enemy, it soon becomes clear their strong feelings can't keep the past from haunting them. On the run from their adversaries and searching for answers, Rosa and Alessandro begin to unravel the secret behind the conspiracy to keep them apart: an ancient prophecy that predicted the destruction of all Arcadia if the two rival dynasties ever married and bore children. And now, they must outrun those who think they're better off dead. With Arcadian assassins trying to kill them at every turn, a group of hybrid beasts thirsty for their blood, and the ruler of all Arcadia desperate to find them, Rosa and Alessandro must find out the truth behind Arcadia once and for all. But will it be the key to unlocking their freedom and future together, or the final step in bringing them to their knees? A1D. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

The true story of John Malcolm, a hungry Princeton graduate who travelled half way round the world in search of the American dream and ultimately pulled off a trade that could be described as the biggest deal in the history of the financial markets. After receiving a mysterious phone call he packed up his few belongings and went to Japan and with barely a penny in his pocket and without speaking a word of Japanese, was thrown into the bizarre, adrenaline fuelled world of the expat trader, quickly learning to survive in a cutthroat world. Malcolm was first an assistant trading huge positions for Nick Leeson, the 26 year old rogue trader who lost nearly 2 billion Dollars which brought down Barings Bank, then he was right hand man to Dean Carney, a brilliant hedge fund cowboy who grew into the biggest derivatives trader in all of Asia. Along the way Malcolm fell in love with the daughter of a Yakuza, a Japanese gangster, built a fortune out of thin air and came head to head with the violent Japanese mobsters who helped turn the Asian markets into the turbulent casino it is today.

Imprint: Cheshire, Carcanet Press, 1975 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy in card covers with near Fine dustjacket which has little fading to spine. 103 pages. This is Christopher Middleton's fifth book of poems. It includes his two pamphlets 'The Fossil Fish' (1970) and ' Briefcase History' (1972). Widely translated into other languages, Middleton's poems contain a variability factor which his English critics have been apt to misconstrue. His poems are crystallizations of complex passions or explorations of perceptual and imaginative experience happening at once on several linguistic levels. Many of the poems in this collection explore the experience of time. All evoke alternative universes. 50. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Soft Cover. Jacket: Near Fine Stock number: 009262.

'I knew so little of the world really. Slander, not geography had always been my strongest suit' observes Bette Midler as she recalls the heady days leading up to her first world tour. Then she was off, wisecracking her way from Seattle to Gothenburg to Frankfurt to Adelaide. Armed with a notepad on which she wrote herself various exhortations. (Thoughts to be Avoided: 1. They won't understand a word I say. 2. They will UNDERSTAND and take offense. 3. They won't understand BUT will take offense antway.). which was her only defence against the barbarities of alien cultures, she survived to write this zany account of the trip. Full of her excoriating wit, here overflowing into the dazzling pictures that accompany the text, this is a distillation of the Midler personality lavishly presented, throbbing with life, double entendre and hilarity. 23.

A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a name written on top edge) with VG dustjacket which has a little edge wear. 213 pages. In this age of the 'organization' man, thoughtful people may become discouraged as to the opportunity for individualism in our society. Professor Miller's study indicates cause for intelligent, logically based hope that the individualist has a bright future in democratic societies. Miller repudiates the mechanistic account of the human personality. He denies that the individual has no control over the forces operating on him and no power to direct his own destiny, and he explains that the uncritical acceptance of scientific methodology by social scientists has resulted in a one-sided view of the individual in society.

Internally there are some light marks to the bottom margin of 3 pages and some age darkening to page edges else clean, tight and unmarked. Dustjacket has a little light creasing to front top edge and is not price clipped. Billy Milton (1905-1989) had a career in show business lasting over 50 years - 50 years on the inside of the bitchiest, wittiest, most scandalous milieu in the world - and this autobiography unashamedly exploits this to the full. Acting, singing, dancing and writing on stage, films and radio, he records it all with a perceptive and sardonic eye - from his schooldays with the bullying homosexual, Tom Driberg, his career in London, then on to Paris where he partnered the great Mistinguett, appearing frequently in films made in London and Paris, then on to Hollywood. Spiced with amusing and revealing incidents and illuminated by the intimate friendship which he enjoyed with so many, this frank, humorous and provocative book provides a fascinating picture of theatrical life over a period of 50 years. Profusely illustrated. 12. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Very Good Stock number: 007354. ISBN: 0904041670

Imprint: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1990 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. Professor Mitchell, in the semi-serious essay that gives its title to this book, argues that much current theological argument resembles a game in which the players are forced to choose between false alternatives - ping or pong. In the other essays Basil Mitchell develops, primarily as a philosopher with a keen interest in theology, some of the important themes that have concerned him, and asks if there is a distinctive Christain ethic applicable to modern man, ponders whether the law should be based on Christian values, queries the rightful place of symbols in Christianity, and wonders at the example of Christ's love for an unyielding world. **** NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY **** R7.

The author has learnt the art of communicating between the earthly dimension and that commonly known as the fourth dimension. This book was dictated to her, inspirationally, by Jacques, a member of God's group of discarnate messengers employed to fight the forces of evil on Earth, his previous incarnation was in 17th century France where he was married to Madeleine. Madeleine was the author in a previous existence and during her present lifetime Jacques was reborn as her baby brother who, sadly, died immediately. The stories Jacques dictates to his erstwhile wife and sister are poignant and dramatic accounts of his missions and he and his fellow members of 'The White Knights' exert their love, will and powers of suggestion as they guard individuals. **** NOT EX LIB **** C3A.

Imprint: London, Sidgwick and Jackson, 1986 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A Fine unmarked copy in red quarter cloth with inset picure to front board. A large format volume of 223 pages. Illustrated with original illustrations by Shirley Felts and contemporary paintings. Mary Russell Mitford was born in Hampshire in 1787 and her village sketches, which after a time were augmented by memories from her childhood and stories from further afield, were first published in book form, in five volumes, between 1824 and 1832. But though her work was successful, it did not make her rich, and when increasing ill health obliged her to give up writing, Queen Victoria herself contributed to a private fund formed to supplement Miss Mitford's Civil List pension. This new selection of her sketches of village life is lavishly illustrated with contemporary paintings, complemented wit specially commissioned watercolours and pencil drawings that recapture a long-vanished rural England. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.97 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** **** NOT EX LIB **** 23.

Signed by Author to title page with no dedication. 278 pages. Pru's husband has walked out, leaving her alone to contemplate her future. She's missing not so much him, but the life they once had - nestling up like spoons in the cutlery drawer as they sleep. Now there's just a dip on one side of the bed and no-one to fill it. In a daze, Pru goes off to a friend's funeral. Usual old hymns, words of praise and a eulogy but...it doesn't sound like the friend she knew.

No-one will challenge her - and what harm can it do? 12. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Near Fine Stock number: 011528. ISBN: 9781472260529
