Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A scarce and fascinating book of photographs of peace camps in Britain between December 1982 and April 1983. One of those books where you're surprised by the feelings of recognition it stirs: yes, you think - to an uncanny degree - this is what people used to look like and how they used to hold themselves and others, and how they used to move and look at others. To qualify that claim, it certainly helps if you're the right sort of age to remember the clothing, the haircuts, the signs, the caravans, the face paint, the coppers' sideburns, and so on, but they're brilliantly caught. The camps and associated demonstrations featured are at Greenham Common (the most famous camp of them all), London, Upper Heyford, Faslane, Lossiemouth, Burtonwood, Capenhurst, Lakenheath, Newbury Court, Holloway Prison, Low Moss Open Prison, Glasgow, Burghfield and Aldermaston. The Peace Camp Book was Rupert Hopkins' first book. He took up photography while recuperating from a bad car crash in Spain in the late 1960s, then studied for three years at Salisbury Art College. In a good two-page introduction, Hopkins describes the making of The Peace Camp Book and notes that "support for the Peace Movement came from every strata of society". "In a way it is a song of praise for their efforts". DESCRIPTION: The book itself has 76 pages, with black and white photographs (and section headings) between pages 11 and 73. Up to about page 29 the binding is getting very tender, particularly towards the bottom, and throughout this is a book that needs careful handling. Technically it's still classifiable as good, but it must not be handled roughly. It's priced to reflect this. There's no markings to the text, and hardly any spotting to the pages internally or around their edges. There's some minor bumping to the outer corners, up to about page 24 at the top, up to about page 16 at the bottom, and from about page 68. In quite a few cases we are talking about just a millimetre or so. The cover has various creases (for example, at the top outer corner and bottom outer corner), scuffs and superficial scratches: nothing too bad. Please take a look at the photos supplied. At the time of writing, two other copies of this book are for sale elsewhere in the world: search for those and they both offer a good selection of some of the photographs within. Even if you never buy a copy from anybody, it's worth having a look. Especially as its subject may be about to become topical again, with talk of US nuclear weapons returning to Lakenheath.

[ROOSEVELT, FRANKLIN D.]. A mystery plot propounded by the president is written as a round-robin novel by Rupert Hughes, Samuel Hopkins Adams, Anthony Abbot, Rita Weiman, S.S. Van Dine, and John Erskine. Signed on the title page: Compliments of Wm. S. Carlisle (presumably the editor or publisher of F&R). A leaf describing the novel and its appearance in Liberty Magazine was affixed to the front endpaper and has come loose but is present. A fine copy in dust jacket, which has a small indentation where a paper clip had been but is otherwise fine and bright. With a wrap-around jacket, that has been placed over the original fine dust jacket, stating it is an advance copy and "First Published." "How can a man disappear with five million dollars in any negotiable form and not be traced? For years I have tried to answer that problem. In every method suggested I have been able to find a flaw. The more you consider the question, the more difficult it becomes. Now---can you tell me how it can be done?" Thus said President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to his good friend Fulton Oursler, then editor of Liberty Magazine. "Suppose," replied Oursler, "that we were to ask the leading writers of the United States to solve this problem. Why could they not collaborate on a mystery story in which your problem is dramatized in the person of a man faced with this predicament?" The President's famous, joyous laugh responded. "That would be fun! Go ahead. See what you can all do with it.".
