Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This fascinating book charts Philip Larkin's arrival in Hull, his relationships with the Hartleys.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This has all the expected first edition factors, but it is not PERFECT. It has a slight lean because it has been read.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. PRIMO LEVI SAID: I hope the reader will be indulgent toward the extreme dispersion of themes, tones, and angles of approach that he will find in this collection. My justification is: the 'pieces' are situated in an arc of time that is close to a quarter of a century, the time of my almost total fidelity to LA STAMPA: and in twenty-five years many things change, inside us and around us. Furthermore, they are conditioned by my intrinsic libertinage, in part willed, in part due to the itinerary fate has reserved for me; I've drunk at various founts and breathed different airs, some salutary, others quite polluted. . . I'm a normal man with a good memory who fell into a maelstrom and got out of it more by luck than by virtue, and who from that time on has preserved a certain curiosity about maelstroms large and small, metaphorical and actual. This from Primo Levi's introduction to THE MIRROR MAKER, his collection of short stories and essays. CLEAN AND TIGHT TEXTBLOCK, and the protected jacket is only lightly worn. Not price clipped.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A biography of Dwight Eisenhower in a complete but worn jacket. This jacket is rather splendid, with a superb colour portrait on the front, and with the famous speech printed on the back when Eisenhower was in London. There is a neat inscription dated 1948 on the half title, but this adds period charm rather than amounting to a fault. Doubleday issued this first edition with an untrimmed leading edge to the text block. The binding is firm but the green cloth binding corners are 'soft'. Not a perfect First Edition but still collectable. The endpaper maps are of interest. The contents reveal the character of this fine example of democracy in action.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is the largest book I have come across; it measures 2 feet high by 1 foot wide. I have never sent a book like this in the post so if you are interested I'm sure we can work something out. It is a FIRST EDITION HARDBACK, and it weighs a fair bit. It is an astonishing publication. For the aviation fan it is very simply STUNNING. Whether you are ten years old or a hundred; if you enjoy looking at wonderful photographs of exciting aircraft this is ESSENTIAL. The pleasure is further enhanced by the expert text. The jacket is complete and undamaged but it betrays a few signs of having been opened, hence my jacket rating of Near Fine. There are some people who will look at this and frame the pages, others will simply drool. It is special, it really is. Needless to say there will be extra postage depending on destination.
