Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 217 pages. Very tight little read book with no marks, stamps or names with a very slight spine cock. Richly woven tapestry of the myths of earlier times, set against the backdrop of New Zealand history. Broad with humour and closely observed, it glitters nonetheless with dark figures dancing round the fire of dreams. On the great plains of the Manawatu a Danish Huguenot family has found refuge, eking out an immigrant livelihood. But for Frederique d'Albret, the distant nightmare of Europe in the 1860's is only too real. Day by day she must live with the rumours of the war on these bright tussocklands, haunted by a love that was pledged in Danish snow. The author is a teacher and lecturer living in Wellington.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Jacket illustrations by Russell Farrell (illustrator). 1st Edition. Two of Jonathan Gash's 24 Lovejoy Mysteries -- the 18th and the 20th -- combined into a single lot to consolidate shipping charge. Both are as-new, unread hardcover first editions with boards that resist opening past 50 degrees; both state "First American Edition" with complete number lines 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 -- first printings. We list the ISBN for "The Rich and the Profane" (1999); the ISBN of "The Grace in Older Women" (1995) is 0-670-86128-6. Lovejoy is a rural (East Anglia) English antiques dealer and minor con man whose semi-mystical ability to recognize a real antique in a heap of rubbish somehow never gets him far enough ahead to keep the electric bill paid, despite which he always finds himself having to beat off the ladies with a stick. The 71-episode British TV series (1986-1994), adapted for the screen by Ian La Frenais, starred Ian McShane as a largely-neutered-for-the-home-screen Lovejoy, Phyllis Logan, Dudley Sutton as a cleaned-up version of the resolutely drunken barker Tinker Dill, Chris Jury, and (in the final seasons) Caroline Langrishe. 279 and 344 pp., respectively. Price for the pair now reduced from $22.

The splendid illustrations and the odd facts, colorful anecdotes, and insider's insights make Under Cover a rare treat for pop-culture buffs, designers, collectdors, and book people of all kinds. Paperbacks have added immeasurably to the information and entertainment available to people everywhere in the world. Historians have only begun to scratch the surface of what these books have meant to American life, much less to the cultures of other countries. With a scholar's skill and a historian's viewpoint Bonn has brought together the many tangled threads that make up the fabric of this publishing colossus and has proded the perspective of historical origins and development.
