Basbanes, Nicholas A
Patience & Fortitude: A Roving Chronicle of Book People, Book Places, and Book Culture
Imprint: New York, HarperCollins, 2001
Edition: Uncorrected Proof
Binding: Softback
The obsessive passion people have had over the past twenty-five hundred years to possess books is commonly known as bibliomania. Basbanes expands the meaning , focusing on the more comprehensive concept of book culture. Visiting many key 'book places' around the world, he talks with a striking variety of kindred spirits, each one a living testament to the unending relevance of these essential artifacts in our lives. He explores the changing form of the book over the centuries and describes the nature of the institutions that have evolved to contain them, including acedmic, public, private, and national repositories. He documents many pertinent book stories that have not been told before, and offers unprecedented depth to others that have barely scratched the surface. He profiles the experiences and thoughts of all kinds of dedicated 'book people', be they librarians, readers, writers, bookmakers, booksellers, preservationists, or collectors. 603p.. Book.

The Wedding Deception
Imprint: New York, Zebra Books, 2005
Edition: 1st Pbk Edition
Binding: Softback
(Zebra Historical Romance) Marriages come in all shapes and sizes, particularly marriages of convenience. Take Claire Barrington's situation: She needed protection from the advances of a local squire, while her dashing new husband Jay needed a wife to shield him from busybody matchmakers. It's a perfect plan...until it goes perfectly awry. For when Claire makes an unexpected visit to her husband's London home, the man she meets is not the man she married--although the brooding look-alike is just as attractive, if not more so...A stunned Jasper Barrington greets his "wife" and has no idea who she is. Her timing couldn't be worse: he is about to announce his engagement to another, yet Claire has documents to prove their union is legal. Then the truth dawns: It was his twin brother, Jason, who married the girl, using his name. And Jasper now has a wife, a fiance, and the devil of a problem. For the unwittingly seductive Claire is proving more than a disruption to his carefully-laid plans--she's quickly becoming a wholly pleasurable distraction.... Book. Book Condition: Fine.

A sequel to the "Darling Buds of May" with the irrepressable Larkin family. "'I should like to go to France,' said Ma said. 'I think it would do us all good to get some sun.' And so at the end of a rainy English August the Larkins - all ten of them, including little Oscar, the family's new addition - bundle into the old Rolls and cross the Channel to escape the hostile elements. But far from being the balmy, sunny and perfick spot Ma Larkin hoped for, France proves less than welcoming to an eccentric English family. The tea's weak, the furniture breakable and the hotel manager is almost as hostile as the wind and the rain they've brought with them! And when the manager learns that Ma and Pop are unmarried yet sharing a room under his roof, the trouble really begins". Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover.

The Golden Calm: An English Lady's Life in Moghul Delhi Reminiscences
Imprint: New York, Viking Press, 1980
Edition: 1st US Edition.
Binding:
Hardback
,
With Dust Jacket
Emily Annie Theophila Metcalfe, the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Metcalfe, was born at Meerut in the North West Provinces, India, in 1830. Her earliest recollections were of the family home in Delhi, where she spent most of her childhood until the age of five, when she was sent home to England; she was not to return to India until early in 1848, when she was seventeen. Just over two years later, at the age of nineteen, she married Sir Edward Clive Bayley in Delhi. Her reminiscences, skilfully edited by M.M. Kaye, provide a sparkling account of a young lady growing to maturity amid the flamboyant finery of the dying Moghul Empire. Through her eyes we see a world fascinatingly remote from our own in terms of both space and time. But an extra dimension is added by the inclusion of over 110 facsimile pages of the "Delhie Book" compiled by her father, Sir Thomas Metcalfe, who commissioned illustrations from some of the finest of the Delhi artists and wrote detailed descriptions of the places and personages around him. 217p.

"An uncorrected proof copy from Abacus" In the Summer of 1874, Matthew Lidgard travels to the busy port of Whitby seeking work on the treacherous trawler fleets.

He is rescued and escapes across the Humber to Spurn, where he finds a strange and turbulent community that gives sanctuary to men on the run from Mundol's corrupt practices. Struggling against a sense that he is cursed, Matthew cannot help being moved by the tale of a family tragedy related by Nathan Anstey, the group's embittered leader, and by the dreams of liberty Nathan's beautiful sister Elizabeth invests in the branches of the 'Freedom Tree.' Finding courage in love, Matthew becomes a source of hope for the community, transforming dreams of revenge into a desperate search for freedom.. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Original Wraps.
