Imprint: London, Little Brown, 2004 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. SIGNED BY AUTHOR to title page with no dedication. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. A new series from the author of 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency', set in Edinburgh, genteel home to ladies who lunch, attend concerts, art exhibitions and - for this is not a showy city - do good by stealth. Ladies for whom chanterelle mushrooms are the only hint of the 21st century, ladies such as Isabel Dalhousie. But behind Rdinburgh's regimented Georgian facades, its moral compasses are spinning with greed, dishonesty, lust, and murderous intent. Isabel knows this, in fact relishes it, and as an accomplished philosopher and editor, she knows all about the difference between good and bad, which is probably why she is an amateur sleuth. And instinct tells her the man who tumbled to his death in front of her eyes to his death after a concert in the Usher Hall didn't fall, he was pushed. L. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Dustjacket has light rubbing and is not price clipped - VG+. 255 pages in a large format. 'Forward' by Yoko Ono and preface by David Wolper. More than a tribute to John Lennon's art, the book emerged from a dazzling proposal by Yoko Ono to David Wolper, in which she offered to open Lennon's personal archives - a treasury of rare film footage, photographs and writings - to create his definitive film biography. Lennon's life unfolds in more than 250 photographs, two thirds in colour and duotone, many never before published. There are spectacular shots from the foremost rock photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, Ethan Russell, Allan Tannenbaum, Robert Freeman, Jim Marshall, Bob Gruen and Ken Regan. The text is drawn from the film of the book's script and features excerpts from new interviews with those closest to Lennon, including one with his aunt Mimi, who raised him and who has resisted talking to the press. A most lavish work on one of the cultural legends of the 20th century. **** A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.52 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH WILL REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** 25.

A Rectangular format volume of 160 pages with photographs by John Ferro Sims and commentary by Lisa St. Aubin De Teran. The beauty and variety of the Italian landscape exert a powerful appeal on all who go there. Generations of travellers - poets and painters, aesthetes and enthusiasts - have fallen under its spell. Today the lure of Italy is as strong as ever, and itis the countryside, as much as the fabled art treasures and cities, to which the visitor responds. In her introductory essay the novelist Lisa St. Aubin de Teran draws on her intimate knowledge and love of Italy to provide a well informed commentary.

Imprint: London, Faber & Faber, 1984 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. Norman St. John-Stevas holds a unique position in British life not only as a leading Christian spokesman but also as a senior Conservative politician. In this book he explores with characteristic wit and brilliance the two main themes of his life: his concern with religion and morals and his fascination with the House of Commons and the politics of Westminster. He assesses post-war British politics, and as a former Arts Minister the problems facing the arts, sets out his views on controversial issues such as euthanasia, censorship, religious education and the permissive society. He records his thoughts on the place of the Christian in secular society, the role of churchman in politics, examines the basis of the Christian faith, the nature of prayer and the relationship between religion and contemporary society. He reflects on the great feasts of the Church, on Christian humanism, on hope and the ecummenical movement. R1. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Very Good Stock number: 006138.

Imprint: London, Bloomsbury, 1987 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 202 pages. Illustrations in the text. In this enchanting memoir, Terence Stamp looks back with affection and humour to an East End childhood that began with bombs over Bow Cemetery and embraced him as the first of a new generation of two Cockney clans. With father away at sea, Terence had no male rivals for a grandmother's and mother's love and that, he thought, was as it should be. His mother's unswerving conviction that he was special instilled in him a belief that his life would be different. His vivid memories take us back to the annual hop-picking holidays in Kent, through the rigours of battling for a place in a grammar school, into the mysteries of sexual initiation in the laundry room of a convalescent home under the expert and energetic guidance of Nurse Grace. We watch the future film star 'urge' on his height, sport Dayton roll-collar shirts as worn by Dean Martin and supplement his income as a newspaper delivery boy. B2D. Book Condition: Fine.

Jean Cocteau, who died in 1963 at the age of 74 after 58 years of kaleidoscopic activity in the arts, was a fascinating and paradoxical figure. With the astounding variety of his work - as poet, novelist, playwright, artist and film-maker (merely to begin at the top of the list) - and the contradictions of his private life, the charm and the nastiness, the generosity and the egotism, the poise and anguish of an opium addicted homosexual who was equally welcome in the aristocratic drawing rooms of Paris and the raffish waterfront bars of Toulon, and who crowned a life among the avant garde by entering the ultra conservative precincts of the Académie Française. He provides a rich and challenging subject for biography. Francis Steegmuller is admirably qualified for this task having written the definitive biography of Maupassant and many other biographies.
