Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. The answer to Doug Willis' mid-life crisis is a sabbatical at his rural retreat in Preston Falls, two months spent restoring the faded splendour of the farmhouse, reading Dickens in the evening and watching summer gently fade to autumn. But following a marathon whiskey drinking session, a disastrous attempt to tear out the living room ceiling and an incident with a sheriff at a local campsite, Willis ends his first weekend away in jail, and it's clear the wired, burned-out New York copy-writer within is still very much to the fore. And while Willis' wife Jean struggles to pay the bills and raise their sullen, sceptical kids, Willis' 'break' crumbles into Dewars- and Cocaine-fuelled disarray, and embarks on another kind of journey altogether.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good/Very Good. (Former Library book) November 1997 marks the anniversary of the birth of Aneurin Bevan. His philosophy, ideas and world view retain relevance today. In this text, left-wing political thinkers relate Bevan's thought to contemporary political realities. It questions whether Bevan was the last real British socialist, or was his vision of a developing society so far ahead of its time that it is only now becoming relevant. The essays included cover issues ranging from the arts to education by: Tessa Blackstone, Donald Bruce, Barbara Castle, Jill Craigie, Michael Foot, Geoffrey Goodman, Will Hutton, Dai Smith, Alan Watkins and Charles Webster.
