Sutton, Walter Gascoigne, Mark Patrick Lynch, Adrian Cole, Shaun Avery, Jay Eales, Craig Herbertson, Tim Major, M. J. Wesolowski, and David Turnbull. "Coined in the 1950s, Kitchen Sink described British films, plays and novels frequently set in the North of England, which showed working class life in a gritty, no-nonsense, "warts and all" style, sometimes referred to as social realism. It became popular after the playwright John Osborne wrote Look Back In Anger, simultaneously helping to create the Angry Young Men movement. Films included Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, The Entertainer, A Taste of Honey, The L-Shaped Room and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. TV dramas included Coronation Street and East Enders. In recent years TV dramas that could rightly be described as kitchen sink gothic include Being Human, with its cast of working class vampires, werewolves and ghosts, and the zombie drama In the Flesh, with its northern working class, down to earth setting. In this anthology you will find stories that cover a wide range of Kitchen Sink Gothic, from the darkly humorous to the weirdly strange and occasionally horrific." Size: 9" x 6". Book.

"When we go below the surface of a man's life to the spiritual depths beneath, the image of God stands out more clearly; then we begin to appreciate the servile place of the world, the inestimable dignity of man and the eternal promise which, crowning his life, dwarfs everything else in the universe. Thomas' study, in a word, is important for our times because the men of our times have learned all but the important things. His study of God, man, and the world, hard and deep as it may be, is necessary because, forgetting God, our times have not recognized men and have yet to see the world. We are learned but far from wise. This is Thomas' book of wisdom, his searching examination of the profound reasons, his handbook of the important answers.

First Edition
Hardcover. 24mo. Limp full green leatherette with gilt spine lettering. 630pp. All edges gilt. Two sewn-in green (one light, one dark) satin page markers. Fine. Pristine first of this edition, an abridged and simplified version of the 13th century Italian theologian's magnum, the Summa Theologica, a vast compilation of the Catholic Church's main teachings left unfinished at St. Thomas's death in 1274. This special copy bears a fine nonauthorial presentation inscription on inner flyleaf: "To Adlai Stevenson, / To whom I am sure / St Thomas is no / stranger. / Wishing you and / your loved ones / Gods Choicest / Blessings / Sincerely / Bill Carroll / 642 Beverly Blvd / Upper Darby / Ga." Carroll's identity remains vague, but clearly this was sent to the Illinois governor (1900-65) after he became the Democratic presidential candidate, a role he would reprise (same result) in 1956.
