Paperback. Condition: New. Gough, Philip (illustrator). Two members of a Gentleman's Club begin a conversation over a copy of the Sanitary World and Drainage Observer. The discussion turns to where `relief' may be obtained after drinking quantities of tea or lager when walking through the streets of London. We are told that the `places that have no attendants afford excellent rendezvous to people who wish to meet out of doors and yet escape the eye of the Busy.' (police).The book could be read at as an entertaining, straight forward guide to London's public conveniences but yet to our more sceptical eye it is patently a guide to where men could meet like-minded men in an era when homosexuality was illegal. It remains a classic whether taken at face value or not.This title is one of the first on the Muswell Press LGBT+ list launching in Autumn 2019.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Burke, Thomas/ Pry, Paul (pen name), For Your Convenience: A Learned Dialogue, Instructive to All Londoners & London Visitors, Overheard in the Thélème Club and Taken Down Verbatimi, George Routledge and Sons (1937). First Edition. Teal blue boards with a titled spine and front board, and the iconic cartographic endpapers detailing the location of public bathrooms in the city. Very minor rubbing to corners and internally clean with very occasional spotting and a small split to the text block that does not affect integrity or text. Overall, an uncommonly clean copy of this scarce work, Very Good. The first gay guide to London, written in subtlety and innuendo, and in the form of a dialogue of two characters discussing where men might meet in the city, and discussing the various loos in the city where one might take relief after drinking, with the desirable Philip Gough designed endpapers showing all of the tourist sites of London, but every public bathroom that a man might meet another, or retire to. Obviously, this was published when homosexuality was still illegal, and so Routledge would presumably have been none the wiser when it was released, and given its scarcity, and that only twelve libraries have a copy (worldcat), many were possibly destroyed when the publisher realised.

Cloth. Condition: Good. Ridiculously overpriced but, but. Described as the first queer guide to London. Focusing on public conveniences but very wittily written and fashioned by the author to give no indication of its real purpose. It certainly fooled the publisher who, when told of its true merit, was said to have pulped the remaining stock. A good copy. 71 pages with map endpapers proving location details. Images available on request.

Caleb Quotem the Parish Factotum Near Fine. Heath was a British artist who once described himself as a portrait & military painter. He was best known for his published engravings which included caricatures, political cartoons, and commentary on contemporary life. His early works often dealt with military scenes, including colour plates for The Martial Achievements, The Wars of Wellington, etc.[4], but from about 1820 on he focused on satire. Between 1827 and 1829, many of his works were published under the pseudonym Paul Pry (the name of an overly inquisitive stage character in a popular 1825 stage comedy by John Poole; also used the pseudonym Argus. He was described by Dr John Brown, biographer of John Leech as poor Heath, the ex-Captain of Dragoons, facile and profuse, unscrupulous and clever. See WIKI.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The first Gay guide to London, with the earliest printed map of the city's "cottages," i.e. public houses. It takes the form of a dialogue, a fairly ridiculous conversation between two gentlemen, ostensibly a guide to public loos throughout the town, as places where men might meet . "Though not out of doors." A hilarious innuendo ensues, and one can only imagine that the sedate publisher's (Routledge) were at the start totally innocent of the fact, it being strictly against the law and thoroughly subversive.Philip Gough's map shows the major tourist draws, but also slips in fifty "Cottage's," un-named but fairly obvious.There is a tiny amount of foxing to the maps, and at the bottom of the front map there is a short 1/2" split at the base of the centre line. There are very few even in Public Collections. Was this possibly because the title was withdrawn early by the publishers? 5" x 7 1/2".
