Windrem were on the commission which produced a book for the University of California as Bulletin 493 of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1930.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Wrappers. Edition limited to 250 copies; designed by Poltroon Press. J.R. Ackerley wrote My Father and Myself. Ian Jackson compiled Mathein Pathein. It looks like a maths textbook, but it's a parent's vocabulary of chastisement. In an unusual (even hilarious) exercise in filial pietas, Jackson commemorates his physicist father, distinguished pedagogue successively at McGill University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of California, Berkeley, and author of the intimidating textbook Classical Electrodynamics ("Learning Electrodynamics from Jackson is like learning about wet cement by swimming in it" - Amazon reviewer), with ruthlessly marshalled lists of his admonitory words and phrases. "To learn is to suffer", or "To suffer is to learn", said the Greeks. "My father believed in standards, and had fashioned an idiolect to maintain them," Jackson writes. "No student of physics was to be rewarded or praised; he was to be ground down. The problems in Classical Electrodynamics were a means of accomplishing this round the globe and on total strangers, as though by drone." Phrases are gathered formidably, Roget's Thesaurus-wise, under subject. "SILENCE & LOQUACITY Button your lip! Cat got your tongue? Cut the cackle! Don't gush! I can't hear a blind word you're saying! I heard you the first time! [&c &c . . .]." Here was a man, remembers his son, "who had a dozen ways of saying 'your goose is cooked'". Jackson junior enumerates them.

No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Single sheet, 4to. 28 lines (with a page of the anonymous author's printed notes on the verso). Verses "on Clinton for grown-ups", in the author's words, issued as "a Christmas sequel to Clinton for children (Cock Clinton [issued the same year, the Ballade however undated])". "It's lonely up there on the topmost rung, / Perplexed, like God, with grave affairs of state, / Remembering how your withers once were wrung / In rural Arkansas . . . but it grows late! / Then sap was green and flowing in full spate, / And your life force incontinently spent; / Let's ask the nearest intern for a date, / And Monica will please the President . . .".

No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Single sheet, 4to. 40 lines, with chorus; letterpress by John McBride. "Who killed Cock Clinton? / I, said Ken Starr / I brought him to the bar / I killed Cock Clinton. // Who raised the cry? / I, said Paula Jones / I cast the first stones / I raised the cry . . ."

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Oblong 4to. Wrappers. "Edward Lear never illustrated The Akond of Swat. This edition of the poem . . . was published in December 1997 as a New Year's gift for friends." The appendix of Akondiana (or Akhondiana) represents further, previously unpublished verses, found inscribed in a John Addington Symonds family copy of Lear's Laughable Lyrics (1877) - perhaps composed by J.A. Symonds, perhaps composed by Lear and Symonds together. "When he hears the sound of a marching band / Does he dance a jig or a sarabande / or GAVOTTE / The Akond of Swat! // . . . Will he bow down low to the Holy Father / And murmur 'Mon Dieu', 'Mio Dio'. or rather / 'MEIN GOTT'? / The Akond of Swat! . . .".

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 4to. Wrappers. Edition limited to 100 copies. A disquisition with examples - laced with footnotes as lengthy as they are diverting. (The anthology itself is not present: a series of quotations individually presented on piles of A4 paper for correspondence.) "I think the only chance of a good biography," he quotes Benjamin Jowett, "is for a man to write memoirs of himself. His friends always think it necessary (except for Boswell, that great genius) to tell lies about him - they leave out all his faults lest the public exaggerate them. But we want to know his faults - that is probably the most interesting part of him." Jackson, benevolent in scholarship, hoards and harvests such imperfections.
